0.71 ct. Parisite

Parisite is a rare earth mineral which occurs in facet grade only at the famed Emerald mine at Muzo in Colombia.  The name derives from a 19th century owner of the mine, J. J. Paris.  The distinctive crystals found there are usually quite small and then may have only a small area at one end which is gemmy.  Most faceted examples are quite small and this gem is quite a respectable size.  Despite some inclusions, it is bright and has a very pleasant color.  Excellent example.
