A lovely and essentially perfect example of this always popular rarity.  The gem is loupe clean, has been given a precision custom cut and has the most sought-after medium dark bodycolor - there is absolutely nothing at all to detract from this one; it is a gorgeous stone.  Moreover, this stunner hits the benchmark one carat weight.  Perfect tone as well; full points on all fronts. These are so scarce now that prices have jumped considerably while demand continues unabated.  With full GIA laboratory report.
