One of the most popular of all gem materials. This doubly phenomenal stone has both a fine, sharp eye and a respectable change of color. This is in fact the difficult aspect of these stones - balancing both phenomena in an attractive way. The eye and bluish-green colors are absolutely wonderful there, the purple is still quite good but isn’t quite a ‘Ruby by night’ color; they almost never are. This gem also has a fine degree of transparency, an added bonus. The bottom is cut very flat with no wasted weight, and the luster is excellent. An older stone we found tucked away.
