Lot Details
with flat back and bowed front. L.85mm. Note: Goodletite is metamorphic rock made of an emerald-green fuchsite base embedded with ruby, sapphire, and tourmaline (mainly dravite) crystals. It is found exclusively in New Zealand's South Island around the Hokitika and Rimu region (West Coast glacial moraines and river deposits, named after Mr. William Goodlet). Local lapidaries and gem collections sometimes describe it as vastly rarer than diamond due to its extremely limited geographical occurrence.
