The largest known cut natural bixbite I've heard of to date is around 8 carats although larger ones may exist. A 12 carat natural stone, if nice, would be very valuable and probably a candidate for a museum collection. Have you had it evaluated by a gemologist? Synthetic hydrothermal bixbite, on the other hand, sells for around $7 a carat in the rough. Figuring 60% cutting loss (depending on the shapes of the rough and the finished stone it could be more or less) a 30 carat rough would be needed to finish a 12 carat gem. www.Artcutgems.com

Richard M. Ideal Rock Total Posts: 928 Last Post: 11/12/2009 Member Since: 2/17/2004	How interesting! A 50-year-old natural bixbite of 12 carats from Africa would be a newsworthy event. Was it found in Nigeria by any chance? By all means share the gemological report with us here and give us all important details, including the name and location of the firm. Be sure to tell us what the report says that distinguishes the stone as natural red beryl. A yellow-orange stone could be anything: corundum, spinel, tourmaline, garnet, topaz, quartz, zircon -- and many others. Richard M. www.Artcutgems.com

Or, is it scarlet and transparent? Thunder Storm Maker (Grand Master), creating havoc in the Heavens when active.

Quartz (carnelian) would be my guess. Rich, Independent GG Appraiser Sarasota Gemological Laboratory
