Milenyum Mining has announced that the world’s largest known faceted csarite gemstone will be displayed by The Courtney Collection, at the Gem and Jewelry Exchange trade show in Tucson, US.
The 121.65-carat pear-shaped gem was cut from a rough of approximately 430 grams – previously, the largest known faceted csarite was an 88.49 carat pear-shape.
Murat Akgun, president of Milenyum Mining, said: “Achieving a faceted csarite of this size and quality is extremely difficult, given the typical loss of rough when faceting.”
Erica Courtney of The Courtney Collection, said: “We are so excited to be able to share this one-of-a-kind colour change gem with the industry. All the collectors and designers know that Tucson is the place to find the truly unusual, so we expect to receive a lot of interest in this rare and responsibly-sourced stone.”
Milenyum Mining is the world’s only source supply of csarite – a natural, unenhanced colour change gemstone.
