A superb little piece of American gemological history. Maine has always been a storied source for this rare color variety, even as small amounts of purples are found in other areas. Freshly cut here in the US, this is a great example; entirely clean and with that lovely and classic color. With the precision cut, it is bright and very brilliant. A rare US gem that simply couldn’t be any finer.
