27.52 ct. 'Llanite'

Named for its single occurence in Llano Co., Texas, this material makes for an interesting cabochon gem.  The stone is a rhyolite matrix containing Feldspar (the pink sections) and Quartz crystals (the blue).  The Quartz crystals contain Ilmenite inclusions and have an adularescent quality.  As the stone is rotated a billowy flash can be seen in each of the Quartz sections.  The appearance is close to what you seen in Moonstone.  Very interesting and certainly a unique material.
