The Victoria Stone is a wonderful manmade stone, the best pieces having the great sparkle and chatoyancy that we see here. This wine colored stone is one of the popular colors. Gold fill and silver wires are used to create the setting. Dimensions: 2" x 1" Bail: 5/16" Victoria Stone is a very rare gemstone created by aged scientist Dr. S. Iimori in Japan in the mid 1960's. Secret crystallizers and crystal habit regulators were used to produce this brilliantly chatoyant stone with fan-shaped patterns. Unfortunately Mr. Iimori died in the late 1970's and took the secret of making this jade-like simulant to his grave.
