Gem Silica Cabochon, 71 Carats – Rare Collector Quality

Additional images

Description

Available now is a truly special piece of Arizona gem silica. This cabochon is freeform with maximum measurements of about two point eight inches by four inches by just under a quarter inch thick. Weighing in at seventy-one carats, it carries vivid blue-green color and gorgeous translucency. The stone is completely natural, never treated or stabilized, and it has remained stable for nearly sixty years since it was cut. This cabochon was created, cherished, and kept safe for decades with the hope that it would some day become part of a truly beautiful piece of jewelry. Gem silica of this size and quality is incredibly hard to find, especially in this condition. Comparable material typically ranges from one hundred to three hundred dollars per carat, while pieces with this much color, stability, and history often fetch even more at major gem shows or from collectors. I am offering this one at a significant discount from those prices. Serious inquiries are welcome; feel free to ask for close-up images, natural light photos, or videos. If you are looking for something a little smaller, I also have a handful of other cabochons from the same collection. These range from just over ten carats to around fifty carats each. Every one is cut for maximum color and stability, with the same decades-long provenance and care. For those seeking the pinnacle of rarity, there are also a couple of small, completely transparent gem silica stones that show a glowing aqua blue. These are five to ten carats each—true collector material, with market prices of four hundred dollars or more per carat for top-grade stone of this type. Authenticity is guaranteed. All my stones are natural, untreated, and have never been color enhanced. Each piece comes with a certificate of authenticity from GemGuard Gemological Laboratory. Local pickup in San Diego or insured shipping is available. Message me to arrange a viewing or to learn more. This is a rare opportunity to add old stock, natural Arizona gem silica to your collection or jewelry work. Serious collectors and designers are encouraged to reach out.
