Are you looking for a relatively brilliant and relatively rare gem? You want a golden colored gem to be set in jewelry, which would be neither a yellow / golden sapphire, nor a Chrysoberyl, nor a yellow Tourmaline, nor a Scapolite, nor a Sphene? A 100% natural stone, untreated, meticulously selected, including some original specimens by their dimensions or their inclusions. A little-known stone that deserves more attention!

Apart from its low availability, Danburite has many qualities for lapidaries and jewelers because it is a mineral species which has the advantage of producing prismatic crystals of excellent clarity, relatively easy to cut and which give magnificent and attractive very shiny gems with various colors.
