Simply a gorgeous stone - cutting, color and clarity are all just what you would hope. Special mention of course is the color, a deep and saturated color that is not common and very difficult to source in unheated gems; a very intense purple that is beguiling. Classic Sri Lankan cutting, but done quite nicely with no windowing or asymmetries of any kind - a very fine polish as well. Superb clarity and size, these unheated stones continue to rise in cost. One of our favorite shades of purple.
