Natural Yellow Scapolite 2.51ct 8.3mm Cushion Cut

A pale lemon-yellow cushion cut scapolite with a clean, bright appearance. The colour is a soft, fresh yellow - light and cool-toned rather than golden. There is a shadowy area visible through the table from natural inclusions within, which adds a slightly misty depth to the interior; the outer facets show good sparkle and light return. SI clarity, untreated. Fluoresces strongly under UV.

Natural, untreated scapolite from Tanzania in a square cushion outline. Tanzanian scapolite has become increasingly popular with collectors seeking untreated yellow stones as an alternative to the more common citrine or yellow sapphire. Works well in a bezel or four-prong setting. The fluorescence adds an extra dimension under UV light.
