Gem Serandite is an extreme rarity. Essentially only found as gem rough at the famed Mont Saint-Hilaire complex in Quebec, supplies of this gem have always been extremely limited. This is a gem where the distinctive color is outstanding and the cutting is very, very nice. Addtionally, the gem has quite exceptional clarity for the material - this is a very problematic mineral, rare so 'gemmy' and almost never as clean as it is here. Judged by the unique color this one is superb - that perfect mix of pink and orange that is so attractive. A very difficult gem to source in such remarkable clarity - we see precious few of these and this is the first we have seen in a long while.
