Clinohumite - Pamir Mountains, Tajikistan (Bulk)

Clinohumite from the Kuh-i-Lal mine in the Pamir Mountains of Tajikistan is a rare collector rough from one of Central Asia’s most historic gem districts. The rough is a rich mix of golden orange, amber and cinnamon

Clinohumite is rarely seen in cuttable quality, and material from Kuh-i-Lal is especially unusual. The mine is better known for historic spinel, so having clinohumite from this location is extra special

The rough is generally small and irregular, with some natural inclusions. Well-oriented pieces can produce bright, warm orange gems with good brilliance

Rare species, historic mine, and uncommon origin make this an excellent material for collectors, gem cutters, and anyone who appreciates unusual material from important classic localities
