Wow ! **************************************************** “If I’m not selling it, you probably don’t need it.” **************************************************** DESCRIPTION: Important information about gemstone valuation: Whenever purchasing investment quality gemstones like the one in this auction, there's no more reputable independent analysis and certification lab/firm than the Gemological Institute of America (G.I.A.) ( http://www.gia.edu/ ). We recommend to never purchase a high value gemstone without this level of independent expertise that only a professional appraisal firm can offer. The gemstone in this auction comes sent to you with the actual original documentation from the G.I.A. PLEASE READ the below description as it should explain everything pertinent to this limited time auction.Pease WATCH this 4K high definition video showcasing this extraordinary gemstone, it will give you the best understanding of the high quality that makes this gemstone so impressive & awe inspiring: http://youtu.be/0SeN3G5yv4c As is always the case with photos and videos of gems, the lighting, the background, and the camera & lens used can affect how the final photo or video looks. In these photos and video, we use different light sources for different images so as to best show off the qualities and characteristics of this exquisite gem.We also use different cameras for the same reason. When evaluating the photos and video, keep this in mind. For the video, we used a Nikon D7100 with a professional quality original Nikkor 60mm macro lens and 3-points of light, halogen, LED, and incandescent. There's also some diffused sunlight filtered through a shade, but we cannot fully control for that and the intensity of it fluctuates with the movement of clouds in front of it. With the artificial lighting, we can control those. This investment grade, museum quality, very rare & extraordinary Bismuth Germanium Oxide (BGO) - Eulytite-Ge (Germanium) crystal gemstone is up for auction for the first time ever. This gemstone was purchased from the world renowned Fersman Mineralogical Museum during the 1980's for an undisclosed price. Since then, it has been securely hidden away. Only in 2024 was it emancipated from the vault it was stored in, photographed and recorded on video......then physically brought into the Gemological Institute of America (G.I.A.) for professional analysis, identification, and certification.As per G.I.A., this unique gem is a modified brilliant round cut. It's massive size is 163.19 carats! Measuring a huge 26.99 X 27.38 X 17.41 mm!For years, we have searched far and wide to try to find another faceted BGO gemstone of this quality and size combination, but we've never seen anything even remotely close in size and quality. What is BGO - Eulytite-Ge?Bismuth Germanium Oxide (BGO) is a scarce hard optical crystal material painstakingly made using the Czochralski process. BGO is made with scarce Germanium that is so difficult to create (and with extraordinary optical properties), that it doesn't even exist in nature! Only a few specialized laboratories in the entire world can create the highest quality, large BGO - Eulytite-Ge crystals.BGO is used in various applications, including medical imaging and high-energy physics. If ever it can be found in faceted gemstone form, those gemstones are very small because large viable crystals of BGO - Eulytite-Ge are very difficult to create, apparently.The Fersman Mineralogical Museum uses the nomenclature of "Eulytite-Ge" to indicate that the huge crystal this gemstone was cut from, is the Eulytite-Ge (Germanium) phase of the BGO creation process........a very complex and difficult process of creating the scarce high quality BGO - Eulytite-Ge crystal this gemstone was created and cut from. BGO is the nomenclature that G.I.A. uses. Whichever nomenclature you prefer, they are referring to the same specialized labratory created crystal.Eulytite can also be a rare naturally occurring crystal, but the labratory created Eulytite-Ge crystal (from which this extraordinary gemstone in this auction is cut from) uses the more rare element Germanium, where as natural Eulytite is instead composed with much more common Silicon instead of Germanium.The optical properties and characteristics of BGO - Eulytite-Ge are what makes it so coveted. In terms of luster (what constitutes the true beauty of clear / white faceted gemstones), the most sought after and highly regarded is referred to as adamantine luster. The highest quality diamonds in the world and BGO - Eulytite-Ge share this special characteristic luster which exhibits lots of highly appealing refraction and sparkling. That special luster is clearly evident in this gemstone, especially under certain light sources.For greater details on the physical properties of BGO - Eulytite-Ge, you can consult databases of minerals and elements or inquire through a search engine or AI tool such as ChatGPT or Microsoft CoPilot. The Fersman Mineralogical Museum........was founded in 1716 in Saint Petersburg. It is renowned as one of the first and largest museums in the world of its kind. Its prestige & reputation for high quality collections is apparently unrivaled. It is home to about 135,000 pieces which include raw minerals, faceted gemstones, and mineral carvings. Should you win this once-in-a-lifetime gem, you'll be in an exclusive club of people who own an extraordinary, world-class, rare gemstone.
