Talumi is a Maltese word for Lemon. But not just any lemon; only the very best, brightest deepest of color can be a Talumi. Washed out pastels do not qualify as Talumi. So there is a big difference between standard lemon quartz and the Talumi; with the main difference being most lemon quartz is the same yellow pastel color throughout; whereas the Talumi will have a distinct darker yellow “band” or area around the gemstones girdle. You can see this in some of the photo’s (page #2 of faceted gemstones) where the Talumi is laying atop the small scales.
This set of Talumi is cut in the Z-Emerald shape and most weigh between 25 and 29 carets. The amethyst marque’s together will weigh in at 20 carets with each being 2-3 carets or approximately 6x11mm.
While this Kit is very unique and nice, it may not be for everyone. If you would like a “normal” Talumi-Amethyst Kit just use the Custom Order Form.
