These are notoriously difficult to cut and are quite soft (4 on the Moh's scale), so this stone is nothing short of amazing. The quality of the polish that the cutter of this stone has attained is simply remarkable for Apophyllite. You may be mistaken for thinking on first glance that the gem is a Beryl or Topaz - it is that good. One or two included crystals only - this is a large and bright and example of a species that we are only rarely able to get faceted. Fine Apophyllite round is not a common term!
