Grandidierite as a species has been known for years but was never of true gem quality - just in the last several years has some material been found and it is exquisite indeed. The window has already closed for the best of the find - those truly gem pieces capable of cutting clean stones in the distinctive color of Grandidierite. This one is as close to perfect as we like to say - excellent cutting, top saturated color, loupe clean and simply staggering in its rarity.
