Brilliantly lustrous and gemmy, 2 cm crystal, sitting wonderfully on matrix! This is the BEST aesthetic quality you could ever ask for in an axinite! It is pristine save for an infinitesimal chip on the back edge, and qualifies as competition quality in my book.

GEMS-113 - Axinite - $ 250
Pakistan
thumbnail, 9.7 x 8.4 mm ;3.32 carats

Axinite is typically considered a collector's stone. This particular gem is a lovely golden-brown / purple color gem with a Cushion cut. Axinite rarely forms in crystals that are gemmy or thick enough for faceting. It is indeed a very rare gem considering that rough is extremely difficult to find. To find a gem over 3 carats is very impressive. Axinite gems are rarely completely clean, so inclusions are accepted by most collectors and dealers. This stone is has some slight inclusions, but shows some trichroism as it does a change color when rotated in different directions. Axinite is actually hard enough that it can be worn in jewelry, though it is a bit brittle.

LW28 - Axinite - $ 400 SOLD
Puiva Mine, Dodo, Urals, Russia
miniature, 4.3 x 2.8 x 2 cm
ex.  Martin Lewadny

This beautiful pair of intergrown crystals have excellent gemminess, color and luster. There is one small area on the back from which a small Axinite is missing. This is of the quality from the famous pockets of the 1980�s - and the mine is no longer producing them. Even with a bit of minute edge wear along the edges, this is a fine and attractive Axinite that displays well but is priced accordingly low due to the small dings - it IS a value, though , for one with such other qualities as you see.

A rich old-timer specimen of axinite from the Swiss Alps that passed through two notable collections (the Wein collection and that of Eric Asselborn) before ending up in these auctions.
