Impressive Moonstone Cabochon

Estimate
US$0
Price realised:
US$8,750
Beschreibung:

Tanzania This large, almost perfectly round double cabochon shows a fine, white-to-blue reflection of any light source around it, like the moon in fog. This phenomenon, the moonstone effect, is also called adularescence, or schiller. The moonstone's body color is off-white, and it is translucent; both factors help to enhance the moonstone effect. Weighing approximately 79.54 carats and measuring 25.0 x 25.0 x 19.8 mm
