DETAILED GEMMOLOGICAL COMMENT
The 8 danburites presented in this collection, «The Way of the Savior»,
Represent one of the most valuable and largest collections, featuring the
rarest samples of gem-quality danburites.
Today, it is extremely difficult to find samples of such quality at the
Dalnegorsk mines has been depleted.
The total weight of the danburites is 241.63 carats, each sample is
colorless and has good clarity.
The largest known faceted danburite crystal was mined in Myanmar
(formerly known as Burma). Its weight is 138.6 carats. The stone is
Distinguished by a yellowish-pink hue.
One of the important properties of danburites is their high dispersion,
which is why danburite has long been called «diamons-like».
