Pezzottaite is not a gem that lends itself to matched pairs - the range of clarity and color is simply too great from stone to stone. This is likely the first time we have seen such a set - accent stones to be sure, but a lovely color and a very fine match. Bright and attractive, there are certainly not many of these around.

Along with traditional faceted gems, the Malagasy deposit of Pezzottaite produced some chatoyant material as well. We see these only rarely in the market now and actually find the faceted gems a bit easier to locate now. A nice strong eye and pleasing shape along with the classic color of the material - a lovely stone and a great example of cat’s eye in this species.
