Comments:
The best of the best -- this gem faces up with a rich purple color, and mixes well with the rich teal color also present. It's super clean, too. This gem can really tie a project together with it's balance between indigo and teal.
Kornerupine has dried up on the market, and there is no new material being developed or mined. Clean material at this point is not replaceable.
I have a small stash of finished, and rough gems, and I will be selling them slowly, as I produce gems from that stash.
I am super pleased by the result here.
