Enstatite is reasonably well known among collectors, it is typically a deep brown or brownish-green gem material. There is one known locality that for decades has produced a trickle of the rarest color variety of this gem - absolutely colorless stones. Embilipitiya is a interesting find as it also produces the scarce colorless Iolite (Cordierite) that is not found elsewhere. We get precious few of either of these and even fewer than normal in the last few years. A very fine (and scarce!) round that is clean, nicely cut and entirely colorless makes for a fine example of this rare color variety.
