16.15 ct. Tanzanian Yellow Scapolite
Color: Medium Dark Yellow
Clarity: Eye Clean
Origin: Tanzania
Cut: Shield - Concave Facets
Treatments: None
Measurements: 20.7 x 16 mm
Gorgeous brilliance courtesy of a fine, precision cut that has made excellent use of concave facets. The color here is really the best yellow of the species; well saturated and without the usual brownish modifier. The gem is loupe clean and the large size gives the stone a great visual appeal. Scapolite doesn’t have the highest refractive index so it is a good candidate to benefit from the added brilliance of this special faceting technique - it looks great.
