0.14 ct. Haüyne

A well known rarity among collectors, Haüyne is famed for it's stunning blue bodycolor.  A completely natural shade, it is among the most saturated of blues (almost an electric shade) possible in the gem world.  Though first described in samples from Mt. Vesuvius in Italy, most gem Haüyne comes from the Eifel District of Germany, where is has been collected for many decades, mostly on weekends by local rockhounds.  The gems are notoriously small and some of the largest examples known barely break the carat mark.  This very fine stone has absolutely top color - a deep and saturated blue with no modifiers - the tone is just right as some of these can be too light.  The stone is also completely eye clean which is also uncommon as these are frequently included.  Moreover, the cutting is great as well.  This one gets full marks on all accounts - if you have been looking for a near perfect example in this size range, this is has to be a strong candidate.
