Description
The Oceanview Mine in Pala, California is the most recent gem mine to open in the Pala Mining District. In the last decade its produced pockets of beautiful quartz. This light golden-brown quartz falls somewhere between the yellow of citrine and the browns of a darker smoky quartz–a color sometimes referred to as “smitrine” in reference to this intermediate color range. The gem weighs 11.15 carats, and measures 16.1 x 11.9 mm; it was cut to fit a calibrated 16 x 12 mm mount. It was custom-faceted by master gem cutter Peter Torraca.

Video Request
Although we do our best to take the highest quality images, sometimes it can be difficult to envision how it will look on your hand. We can take a video of up to four gems side by on the hand to help you compare them and see how they perform in daylight. Please provide the following information, and include the SKU numbers or links to the stones you would like to see a video of.
Please note that we don’t do 360-degree videos as colored gems are optimized to be viewed face up, and because the current technology is such that none of the 360-degree systems we have tested provides the accurate color. Our desire is to present the most honest and accurate color possible!
