Gemstone: Red Thulite - 45.82 Cts.
Namibia
39.09 x 24.93 x 5.59 mm

A saturated blend of crimson and rose tones gives this Thulite cabochon its unmistakable charm. Speckled with pale cream and faint hints of green, the natural surface patterning appears almost painterly, with soft transitions and organic structure. The elongated pear cut emphasizes the gem's vertical lines and gently rounded edges, offering a pleasing silhouette with a high-gloss finish. Known for its association with Norway, Thulite is a rare pink variety of Zoisite, and larger polished examples like this are especially sought after. With its bold coloring and elegant shape, this piece presents a compelling option for collectors and designers alike.
