GEMS-116 - Gaspeite - $ 195 SOLD Australia thumbnail, 13.1 x 8.8 mm ; 5.62 carats
Gaspéite is a somewhat rare carbonate named after the Gaspe Peninsula in Canada. The material is virtually always opaque, and is this is one of the few faceted stones of this material that I've seen. The color of Gaspéite is a very attractive light green, and this stone is no exception. The gem is opaque with an Elongated Cushion cut, but for rare stone collectors, this would make a great addition to any rare stone collection, especially considering that it’s a colorful stone.
RARE-09-27 - GILLARDITE on Gaspeite - $ 950 132 North Mine, Widgiemooltha, Western Australia, Australia (TYPE LOCALITY) miniature, 5.2 x 4.4 x 2.7 cm
Gillardite is an extremely rare copper nickel chlorine halide, found ONLY at this locality to date. This is a very rare display-quality, attractive specimen that is just loaded with crystalline gillardite, perched on lightre-green gaspeite. This mineral seldom crystallizes and although small, these crystals are discrete and eye-visible. Besides, the piece is pretty, simply for color! I saw a single flat of these, recently found in 2008. Of them, this was the richest and prettiest that, at least, were available to me. (TYPE LOCALITY)
