A beautiful example of this distinctive color from Luc Yen.  There are, in fact, very few gem materials that capable of this hue - intensely saturated, but still fairly light in tone.  These are very popular with their light and bright look.  The stone is a fine size and is well cut - a shape that was less popular in times past but that is seeing more appreciation now. Entirely clean and simply gorgeous.
