An extinct gem, this is one of the rare and beautiful colors that Iimori created. This teal Victoria stone is very chatoyant which the photo has trouble representing! I decided on a designer cut and wrap to enhance this stone using both 14/20 gold fill and Argentium wires. This is beautiful hand crafted jewelry featuring a wonderful feature stone in a lovely and unusual color.
Dimensions: 1 7/8” x 1 ¼
Bail: ¼” Victoria Stone is a very rare gemstone created by aged scientist Dr. S. Iimori in Japan in the mid 1960's. Secret crystallizers and crystal habit regulators were used to produce this brilliantly chatoyant stone with fan-shaped patterns. Unfortunately Mr. Iimori died in the late 1970's and took the secret of making this jade-like simulant to his grave.
