A very attractive example of a color that is hard to get right. Often muddy or overly dark, this one is a bright and pleasant ‘evergreen’ hue that is strongly modified by blue - the pleochroism is extremely evident in-hand. There is an interesting mineral inclusion that is slightly eye visible, but the lovely color and fine cutting largely overpower it. One of the best green hues we have seen. Additionally, it is Quite approachable in terms of size and cost, a great intro into this underappreciated Sapphire color variety.
