Barely detectable face-up, we simply couldn’t resist the unique look of this one. The bodycolor is entirely due to a series of colorless/dark blue zoning bands that run through the gem. Usually seen as a detriment, such zoning can be intensely interesting and quite appealing, as is the case here. Overall, the gem has dark slightly greenish blue color. Good size and not overly costly.
