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 is the fine, precision quality of the cut here - great polish and a near adamantine luster. Very attractive stone and not terribly costly.
