Grandidierite 1.55ct oval cut

A natural grandidierite in a 1.55ct oval cut, 8.5x6.5mm, from Africa. The stone shows a pale mint-blue to pale teal-green body colour, semi-transparent with a milky depth. Brownish-orange matrix patches and dark crystal inclusions are visible within the faceted body, typical of the species at this quality level. SI clarity as documented in the product photos.

Grandidierite is one of the rarer gem minerals on the market, with major sources in Madagascar and parts of Africa. This small oval is suited to a pendant or earring setting where its unusual mint-teal colour can be appreciated. Untreated and natural - a genuine grandidierite at an entry-level size and price point. The inclusions and matrix are natural features of the species.
