Wow Unclestu that is really a gorgeous color, and it's untreated! wow. I am curious, what are the lines radiating across a facets on the left side of the stone. Is it some artifact of photography?  |

I noticed those lines in the pictures as well. It must be as you said some sort of photographic artifact. I know that another unique feature about this stone is that under magnification you can see very slight needle inclusions, however they would not be visible in these pictures. But the best part about this stobe is that ithas not been treated or enhanced in any way. Not like the "London Blue Topaz" that you see on the market which has bee treated to have that rich blue color. I wish you could see this stone in person. It is really amazing.

Awesome! What a beauty! What a color! And the edges and facets look perfect to me. Almost looks like a thumb print...Good looking stone too....John John, when reading your comment I recalled how your Dad in law plunged into the rock hobby directly through faceting. Does he still facet stones? Would be nice to see them. Adrian |
