I acquired a small parcel of trillion cabs over 12 years ago when Charoite was actively mined, and put them away knowing the mining would cease over the following several years. This represents the very best quality ever found. It shows long deep purple striations that are highly reflective. It weighs 3.2 grams (16 carats).
