These have become quite popular, as well as more common, in recent years. They are dazzling stones with great color and dispersion - if they were just more durable they would be a sensation in jewelry. What is now uncommon here is the size of the stone and the fine cutting and great polish - remember these have a near adamantine luster. Very interesting deep red color band across the stone as well - outstanding!
