Comments:
Material from this find is becoming exceedingly hard to find anywhere. If it is available, it's almost always very expensive. There just isn't a whole lot left out there being actively traded and sold. But every once in a while, an opportunity comes up to invest in some rough or some crystals, and I am always looking for that.
I cut this gem this year (2023) and I am now officially out of Dunton gem rough!
It's a simple, and stylish design; a classic step-cut emerald shape. It was the best way to pump brilliance out of this lightly included gem.
Priced with the clarity in mind!
