Covellite
designer gem 10/13/2016 01 - 49 x 22 x 5 mm - 81 carats -
This material comes from Butte Montana. This large, high
grade cabochon has gorgeous clear azure blue metallic
Covellite beautiful with flecks of gold pyrite. This is the
kind of high grade covellite everyone wants and is rather
hard to get. If you touch this stone anywhere on the blue
areas the oils in your hand can make the rich blue fire turn
to a beautiful magenta color as seen in the last picture and
a little in the video below. This stunning designer shield
cabochon has a low rounded dome, girdled sides and a flat
beveled back all with mirror like luster so reflective it's
difficult to get pictures. There are a few minor surface
voids that do not detract from this outstanding and rare
gem. As far as covellite goes, this stone has very minimal
imperfections. The pictures and video show the stone fairly
well but the stone is much better in person, in hand. I have
included a video clip here:
