About the Item

Faceted Clinohumite Weight: 2.50 Carats Dimension: 11.1 x 7.7 x 5 Mm Origin: Tajikistan Colour: Smoky Orange Treatment: Non Certificate: On Demand Clinohumite is a rare and beautiful gemstone belonging to the humite group of minerals. It is best known for its striking golden-yellow to deep orange hues, which can sometimes be mistaken for spessartine garnet or topaz. However, its unique crystal structure and rarity set it apart from other orange gemstones. Loose clinohumite gemstones are highly prized among collectors and gem enthusiasts due to their scarcity and exceptional beauty. Discovered in the 19th century, clinohumite forms in high-temperature metamorphic environments, particularly in marble and skarn deposits. Some of the most notable sources of this gemstone include the Pamir Mountains in Tajikistan, the Lake Baikal region in Russia, and certain locations in Tanzania. Because clinohumite occurs in such limited quantities, gem-quality specimens are considered highly valuable and are rarely seen in mainstream jewelry markets. In terms of physical properties, clinohumite has a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5, making it moderately durable for jewelry but still requiring care to prevent scratches or damage. It is often faceted into oval, round, or cushion cuts to maximize its brilliance and showcase its warm, fiery glow. Loose clinohumite is particularly appealing to gemstone collectors who appreciate rare and exotic minerals. Due to its limited availability, fine-quality clinohumite is often used in custom-designed jewelry pieces, allowing for unique and one-of-a-kind creations. Whether set in rings, pendants, or earrings, this gemstone offers a distinctive alternative to more common orange and yellow gems. For those looking for an uncommon yet captivating gemstone, loose clinohumite is a fantastic choice. Its rarity, mesmerizing color, and fascinating geological history make it a true treasure for any collector or jewelry connoisseur.
