It is such a pleasure to be able to occasionally offer museum grade examples of some of the rare stone species. From a very old collection formed directly in Brazil comes a large and fine example of gem Amblygonite. Entirely clean and beautifully cut, this one simply couldn’t be any finer. The color is a very light greenish-yellow and, with its size, the gem is extremely impressive in-hand.
Amblygonite forms a series with Montebrasite and the distinction is not often entirely clear, we actually had an informal Raman done at a trade show and the match was almost perfect for the Amblygonite spectra. Outstanding gem.
