2.15ct Pollucite Gemstone: A Collector's Treasure

Discover the unique allure of the 2.15ct Pollucite gemstone, a rare and captivating collector's gemstone. This exquisite gemstone, discovered in 1846 and named after Pollux, a brother of Helen of Troy in Greek mythology, holds a special place in the mineral world.

The inclusions, usually whitish, resembling spikes or balls or snowflakes, add to its character and are indicative of the mineral's unique nature.
