One of the finest gem crystals of it's size in the world.
A 10ct stone of this quality sells for six figures
per carat at auction (NY, Geneva, Hong Kong.). The
brilliance is 90-100%. The classic medium to light texture
helps this crystal glow in lower lighting conditions.
The antique cushion style cutting is exemplary.
The depth is typical of old classic material at 80%.
This greather depth increases the intensity or depth of
color.
