This stone delivers a bright, lively appearance with a near-colorless to subtly tinted body that allows its optical performance to truly shine.

The Gnome’s Geode cut maximizes Lithium Niobate’s unique properties, turning it into a hypnotic display of brilliance and colorful flashes with every movement.
