Hailing from the Mt. Ida region of Arkansas, this gorgeous stone has been cut from some of the finest quartz in the world.  Completely untreated, this natural stone weighs a whopping 10 carats and measures 13.88mm.  Named after the region where this stone was mined, this “Mt. Ida” cut is an original design by Jim Perkins.  This stone is a Barion type cut, which means it uses a round brilliant pavilion on a fancy shaped gem.  Barion cuts are also characterized as a having moon-shaped facets at the girdle, which coupled with the brilliant facets results in greater brightness than a traditional cut.  The final product is a stone with tremendous light return that gives the gem extreme flash and sparkle.  Initially developed as a cut for diamonds, this type of design also works great on colored stones- especially those that are larger sized and lighter colored.  A massive, clean chunk of Arkansas Quartz was the perfect canvas for Mr. Perkins to showcase his original design.  Don’t miss the chance to take this stunning Jim Perkins original home with you today.
