5.05 ct Oval Pale Pink Goshenite (Beryl) Set Of 2 Stones

*Please note all loose gemstones are sold on behalf of a third-party wholesaler and pricing is therefore linked to the US$. Regular price updates are performed in order to accommodate fluctuations in the exchange rate and may be carried out without prior notice. Dispatch on loose gemstones will take place 2 working days after purchase to allow for shipping from the supplier to my studio. I do regular inventory updates with them to ensure accuracy, but since these stones are also offered for sale to other jewellery designers, it may happen that a particular stone is no longer available at the time of purchase. In such a case you will receive the opportunity to change your order or a full refund.

This set of natural goshenite equals 5.05 carat and has a very pale pink colour. These stones are colour and size matched and sold as a set, perfect for earrings.

* A note on Matched Sets: Due to the fact that these stones were cut by hand, the angle at which they lie flat on the surface during photography is not always the same, which may cause them to reflect the light differently and therefore not look like they were matched. If you are unsure, you are more than welcome to get in touch for additional photographs or videos of the stones, or perhaps to book a viewing in person.

Precious beryl: This term refers to all colour varieties of beryl which are not emerald, aquamarine or morganite.

Beryl is brittle and sensitive to knocks but hard enough to withstand regular wear.

Goshenite: A colourless variety of beryl named after Goshen, Massachusetts, where the first deposits were found. Can be used as an alternative to diamonds.

Heliodor: Golden yellow to lemon yellow. There is some disagreement in the trade as to what should be classified as heliodor and what should simply be called golden beryl. Named after the Greek sun god Helios, it stands to reason that heliodor should be the colour of sunlight.

Technically morganite is counted under precious beryl (like goshenite and heliodor), and not identified as a variety on its own (like aquamarine and emerald), however, due to its recent increase in popularity, this is slowly changing.

Please note: We take great care to ensure that the photographs are an accurate representation of the actual stone, but due to differences in screen quality and resolution, and the fact that the colour of a gemstone is dependent on the type of light it is viewed in, some variation is possible.
