Cacoxenite / Goethite in Amethyst wand gem 10/22/2017 01 -
49 x 13 x 5.4 mm - 25 carats - This magical material comes
from Brazil and is also known by many other trade names...
This stone is cut from the rare wand type crystal - and it
is stunning. It's cut from a whole crystal preserving all
the minerals present from the base to the purple amethyst
termination. This one has it all: Amethyst with golden
cacoxenite (goethite if you're a real mineral nerd.. lol) at
the termination, silvery grey goethite chevron included
quartz in the middle (the middle shows a metallic chatoyant
play of light as well) and citrine with red hematite in the
base. This elegant, designer cut tear has beautifully
rounded low dome, girdled sides and a low domed and beveled
back all with high gloss luster. It is difficult to find a
piece that can cut this type of gem, making this particular
gem very rare. Here's a video to see the stone in motion:
