Product Description

Ussingite is a rare silicate mineral, chemical composition Na2AlSi3O8(OH), similar in its properties to Sodalite but lacking fluorescence. 

Named for Niels Viggo Ussing, professor of mineralogy at the Copenhagen University, Denmark, it is usually found in fine granular cryptocrystalline aggregates which are brittle in nature and therefore difficult to facet.

This fully faceted translucent gem is a slightly variegated pale lavender colour and comes from the Ilimaussaq complex, Narsaq, Kujalleq, Greenland.

weight:  6.46 carats.
shape:  Octagonal faceted
dimensions:  12.55 x 12.51 x 7.69 mm 
treatment:  None
