You pretty much can't get rarer than chrome kornerupine. Unless you're talking about truly CLEAN chrome kornerupine, and then you're talking about unicorns!! It's nearly unheard of to find clean chrome kornerupine in any size. That's why I am thrilled to be able to bring you a variety of clean options in a variety of price points.
This one is particularly noteworthy due to it's great performance, peak clarity, and of course, its' display of purple and green together in the final gemstone.
These traits make this marquis gem a true collectible, and an absolute rarity. A bonus of marquis gemstones is that they give you the largest visible (upward facing) size per weight ratio of any shape -- meaning that this .3 ct kornerupine looks much bigger than it is, and compares in size to a nearly half carat gem of another shape.
