For this episode, Anne Desmarest de Jotemps present to you a collector’s stone: Grandidierite. We don’t yet know if the big houses will create jewelry with this rare gem, but collectors are already snapping it up and even sellers are having trouble parting with it!
Of course, this exceptional gem was present at Gemgeneve: Kunal Sheth, the Managing Director of House of Gems 1986, presented a rare Grandidierite of 6.5 carats of a magnificent color: a midnight green with bluish reflections!
For this podcast recorded at GemGenève, Anne had the chance to gather around the microphone of Il était une fois le bijou the famous Dr. Michael S. Krzemnicki from the SSEF laboratory to explain to you the history and gemological data of Grandidierite in dialogue with Kunal Sheth from House of Gems 1986, who shares with you his fascination for this exceptional gem.
