or my FB store, as I do 99.99% of my business on Facebook & many times my stones do not make it to Esty before being sold.

First video taken under natural shaded sunlight. Second video & all pictures taken under LED. Note – The blown-up video makes the inclusions look much worse than they are - (read more below).
This stone looks good in all light, but it becomes more vivid under LED & fluorescent light, & it is absolutely stunning, fluorescing in shaded sunlight even becoming more vivid & takes on a bluish overtone that reminds me of Tanzanian Vanadium Chrysoberyl. It also fluoresces bright red under UV light.
The stone faces up directly eye clean in hand. If you tilt the stone under stronger light & look through the table, you’ll see a small inclusion under the crown. This in no way affects the beauty of the stone, & you must look for it. So, I’ll call the stone eye clean to very slightly included in all but bright direct sunlight.
There is a very small yellow color zone you can see in the blown-up videos. This is not apparent to the naked eye at all except in direct sunlight, then it is small to almost nonexistent depending on the stones orientation by turning it north to south. A prong should be able to cover this.
There is a divot on the pavilion behind the crown. This is where a natural was & will not compromise the stone to be set. It cannot be seen face up & looking at the pavilion look like a tiny pinpoint of light. Hard to see.
In closing, this is an extremely rare gemstone, among the very rarest I’ve ever owned. Its price may seem high, but where are you, or I for that fact, going to find another one?
