Faceted Tiffany Stone from Utah, USA — an exceptionally rare example of a gem more commonly seen as cabochons or polished specimens. Tiffany Stone, also known as Bertrandite, is a unique blend of fluorite, opalized material, and trace minerals that form within the beryllium-rich veins of the Brush Wellman Mine in Utah’s Spor Mountain range. The interplay of lavender, violet, and cream tones seen here is characteristic of this locality, but what sets this piece apart is its faceted form — a rarity due to the material’s natural opacity and brittle structure.
Cutting Tiffany Stone into a faceted gem requires significant skill and patience, as the material often contains micro-fractures and hardness variations that make polishing difficult. The result, when successful, is a collector-grade piece that bridges the worlds of lapidary art and mineral rarity. Few examples are ever cut this way, making faceted Tiffany Stone one of the most uncommon American gemstones available today
