A fine little stone whose color looks for all the world like it could be from Vietnam, but we do rarely see these fine more saturated hues in Sri Lankan gems. An intensely bright and brilliant gem with such a pleasant lavender color that is not marred at all by low saturation. Now that Luc Yen stones are so popular, this stone would be much more expensive had it been found there.
