As fine an example of true gem Crocoite that you are likely to find. Though instantly recognizable based on color, these are only rarely faceted. Very little of the material is fully transparent gem grade rough, and even then needles of Crocoite tend to be very thin. It is a fickle material to cut, even then, so we only rarely see these. To cut a clean, well shaped 2 carat stone of this quality is almost unheard of. and this one is indeed all that you would hope. Great color, lovely brilliance and shocking size. .
