One of the most immediately recognizable and distinct colors in the gem world. This deep and strongly bluish-green color is rather like what Emerald aspires to, both in hue and saturation. Crystals are small so gem rough is not common and the stone is both soft and difficult to cut. This one is superb - great polish, clean and untreated. Yes, we have heard of clarity treatments on these, but absolutely not the case here. Beautiful rarity.
