Triplite (extremely rare)

Triplite is not rare in the aspect that it is found in various parts of the world, but the large percentage of ALL Triplites around the world are essentially black and opaque, and not gem quality with a bright salmon orange color like this stone! There was one find of these crystals and rough in Pakistan in the early 2000’s, and they are simply some of the most impressive gems of any phosphate I've seen from any locality. This gem weighs in at over half a carat, so it's by no means small, and you'd be hard pressed to find another on the market, considering that all these gems were quickly scooped up when they were made available. This particular stone is very attractive, extremely rare, very slightly included, strong salmon orange color with an "Oval" cut. BETTER IN PERSON as the color is more saturated than the photos indicate. A beautiful stone of this amazingly rare material. Item #TRIPPAK053
