Yellow Scapolite, when found with this level of clarity, is extremely rare and is sought after by gem and mineral collectors.  This stone is set in Sterling. Sz 7

Scapolite is a rare gemstone that is named after the Greek word, "skapos" meaning stick or stem, due to the long columnar formation of its crystals. The most common color of scapolite is honey yellow, but it can also be violet, orange, pink, brown, gray or colorless.

Scapolite is not a very well-known gemstone, so it lacks the legend, lore and beliefs that many of the more popular gems have. However, Gold scapolite is said to have a mood-lifting effect, similar to citrine. It can be used to increase energy, and also to support and purify the filter organs, particularly the liver and spleen.

With a hardness of 5.5 to 6 and perfect cleavage, scapolites require care when wearing as jewelry. Although daily wear as a ring stone may be inadvisable, protective settings and occasional use will let you show off these rarely seen gems.

Avoid cleaning scapolites with mechanical systems. Instead, use only a soft brush, mild detergent, and warm water.

Please be aware that due to differences in monitor settings, color may vary slightly.
