Description

This stone has an amazing, unique green color. It's a saturated, slightly yellowish green in daylight--think of a more saturated apple-green.

It will shift a bit. In diffuse, intense daylight, or some fluorescent light, you'll see a little neon green. It's not neon normally, but you sometimes see some neon in certain lighting conditions. In LED or Incandescent, it shifts to more of a golden yellow.

I had planned to recut this stone since it has a window. The pavilion is centered, and the depth should be sufficient for a pavilion recut at 64%, and you'd probably end up with a 2.2-2.3 carat stone.

If you wanted to get really crazy, you could probably cut it to a 7.4 mm round, though it would end up a 1.5 carat stone.

It has a nicely cut crown and lots of sparkle. So it works as is, but I'll recut it if it doesn't sell. If you want to purchase it contingent upon the assessment of a cutter, we can work that out. I can also recommend inexpensive recutters.
