Natural Pollucite Crystal

L'orchidée

Pollucite is a caesium-rich member of the zeolite group, formed in the late pockets of lithium–caesium–tantalum pegmatites. It is common enough as a massive, cloudy material and exceptionally rare as a clean, transparent crystal large enough to facet.

L'orchidée is a near-colourless pear of 42.11 ct, cut in a combined modified brilliant and step pattern, and documented in an independent laboratory report as natural pollucite with no detected treatments.

Rarity Score: 9.3 / 10
