About Victoria Stone:

In the mid to late 1960's an aged Japanese scientist, Dr. S. Iimori devoted himself to the creation of gemstones. Victoria Stone is/was made of natural raw minerals (quartz, feldspar, magnesite, calcite, fluospar, etc). Those minerals were heated to intensely high temps to form a molten magma. This magma was then poured into boules and placed under 2000 pounds of pressure; the cooling process took months. During this time the phenomenal chatoyant crystals were formed. The final result is a stone minerally similar to nephrite jade. Production of Victoria Stone ceased sometime in the 1980's, upon Dr. Iimori's death. As far as anyone knows, Dr. Iimori was the only person to ever know the formula, and it was lost with his passing. Others have spent thousands of dollars to try to reproduce this spellbinding legendary gemstone. Alas, all that is left to the world is what was produced 20-35 years ago.
