A completely clean and brilliant stone in a color that is an attractive mix of red with a purplish modifier. If this stone were Sri Lankan, the tone would likely be darker and there would be some element of brown that would rob the gem of brilliance; not the case at all with this Vietnamese stone, indeed the color is almost Rubellite-like. Great cutting and a magnificent size - we don’t often have entirely clean Vietnamese gems of this size. Nothing at all to detract from this one.
