Dazzling crystal clear Danburite. Imagine the entire glittering like the top right hand side of the picture throughout - that is what you will get!!
Danburite is not well known nor is it common on the market but it is growing in popularity as a quality gemstone. Under a 10 x loupe the gem is crystal clear (if it were a diamond it would be classed as E) with no visible damage to the facets. The gem is Much much better than the pictures have captured. With a hardness of 7 to 7.5, it is ideal for jewlery and it will make a glittering center piece.
The Concave Cut is a three dimensional conical shaped facet applied to the pavilion of the gem that creates depth as well as length and breadth. Instead of the facets being joined by a flat plain,they are joined with a groove. This creates depth as well as length and breadth. This allows the gem to refract more light, maximizing its brilliance. The Concave Cut also distributes light more evenly, giving the gem a stunning interior glow. Some gems increase up to 100% in brilliance when Concave Cut.
Concave Cut gems are gererally more expensive than traditionally cut gems because of:
1) Higher weight loss (i.e. you get less carat weight from the raw material)
2) The additional labour (It takes longer to facet concave cut than traditionally cut gems)
3) Market realities of supply/demand (Many people want concave gems & supply is limited)
