Yellow scapolite, 5.64 carats – (Ref: GEMSCA-0002)

Description

Yellow Scapolite of 5.64 carat, Marialite variety.

Marialite, a sodium-bearing variety of the scapolite group, is highly sought after for its transparency and characteristic fluorescence. This specimen exhibits a remarkable balance of size, clarity, and optical quality, offering exceptional value for money in this category of collector’s gems. Under short-wavelength UV light, the stone exhibits a vivid, distinct pink-orange fluorescence, a phenomenon highly valued in analytical gemology.

Crystals of this quality are becoming particularly difficult to obtain these days: available stocks are low, and new supplies are becoming scarce, especially for pieces that combine this clarity, cut, and origin.

A unique gemstone ideal for a mineralogical collection or gemmological study, where it serves as an excellent specimen for observing the optical properties of sodium scapolite.
