Sold Out
Here is a somewhat rare synthetic material, Strontium Titanate, or "Fabulite" as it was once called in the 50s
This is a 5 carat stone that I cut in a design by Marco Voltolini "Hanami"
There is nothing quite like Strontium! It has a dazzling fire to it that is quite remarkable and looks good with almost any design. I have only a small amount of this material left in my arsenal and hope this goes to a loving home!
This would not be suitable for a ring but would be great in a pendant!
9.5mm
---->>>>>>Please be aware that this material is 5.5 Mohs - it is quite soft on the scale. If you plan on purchasing this, please make sure your jeweler is aware of the softness and can delicately set this material. This would not be suitable for a ring but would be great in a pendant!
"Strontium titanate was a very popular diamond simulant in the 1950s through the 1970s and was sold under a variety of trade names. Although its surprising fire captured the attention of consumers, its lack of durability resulted in consumer disappointment. It was replaced by materials such as YAG and cubic zirconia that are superior in hardness but inferior in dispersion.
Strontium titanate was originally manufactured by the National Lead Company (currently NL Industries), a company that produces a wide variety of lead, titanium, and strontium products for high-tech industries. In addition to its use as an attractive jewelry stone, strontium titanate is used in optical instruments, high-voltage capacitors, voltage-dependent resistors, advanced ceramics, and substrates for superconductors."
