Description

Here we have a 7.97ct. oval danburite, which was masterfully fashioned into a fancy concave or "quantum" cut by world-renowned gem artist Richard Homer of Ohio. The color is the purest, most saturated, canary yellow I have ever seen. The vibrancy shown in my photo is 100% accurate and unenhanced. And it's quite a clean crystal for this material. The stone measures approximately 17.05 x 11.01 x 7.67 mm. It's completely untreated, and accompanied by an AGL Prestige Report (#1123775). The origin is Tanzania, but the stone was named after the town where it was first discovered - Danbury, CT. Danburite has excellent hardness (7.5 Mohs) and poor cleavage, so lapidaries are free to have fun with fantasy cutting without having to worry about damage during the process. Danburite is very durable material. This is a one-of-a-kind piece. I paid $3,000 for the stone... I'm discounting it to $2,000, hoping for a quick sale to a loving home.
