A lovely example of this always popular rarity.  The gem is loupe clean, has been given a precision custom cut and has a bright bodycolor - there is absolutely nothing at all to detract from this one; it is a gorgeous stone.  Moreover, this stunner passes the benchmark one carat weight mark.  These are so scarce now that prices have jumped considerably while demand continues unabated.  Face-down you can see some color zoning, but it is absolutely no issue at all when the stone is face-up - the expert cutting gives a consistent and rich color.  With full GIA laboratory report.
