4.11ct Purple Scapolite Bianca Pendant

This elegant pendant centers on a richly colored Tanzanian scapolite, a gemstone prized for its unusual silvery-purple hue. Distinct from the more familiar purple gems, the stone displays a cool, luminous tone and a beautifully executed cut that gives it lively brilliance.

The Bianca pendant surrounds the gemstone with a softly sculpted frame of 18k gold, delicately finished with traditional Florentine engraving. The gently rounded form reflects light with a subtle sheen, highlighting the intricacy of the hand-engraved surface. Carefully finished on the reverse as well, the pendant is beautiful from every angle. Crafted in Florence, Italy.

ABOUT SCAPOLITE
Scapolite is a fascinating and lesser-known gemstone prized by collectors for its distinctive colors and lively brilliance. First identified as a mineral species in the 19th century, scapolite occurs in a range of hues including soft lavender, golden yellow, honey, and violet-gray.

Fine gem-quality scapolite is relatively rare, particularly in larger sizes with good transparency. The gemstone’s refractive properties give it excellent brightness when well cut, allowing light to move vividly through the stone. Because of its unusual colors and limited availability, scapolite is especially appreciated by collectors seeking distinctive and uncommon gemstones.
