A really lovely and richly colored stone that falls somewhere between what you might expect of Vietnamese stones and their Sri Lankan counterparts. This is not a medium or light tone pastel Luc Yen color, nor is it a dark and muddy Sri Lankan one. The tone may be Sri Lankan, but the unmodified color is all Vietnam - no brownish overtones. Really nicely cut and clean, a one-off stone from a good supplier at a competitive cost.
