***ADDITIONAL INFO***

The stone has an unusually even, bright and saturated color for a chrysoberyl, with some excellent 'crystal'. Despite the warm overall hue, it looks sharp and coldly crystalline no matter the viewing conditions.

Tilt brilliance/brightness return is higher than at 90 degrees to the table; photos to illustrate both are attached.

It's also totally eye clean and has no cutting issues.

The color is reminiscent of a nice cat's eye chrysoberyl, but since the stone doesn't have any rutile silk it also has no chatoyancy. It's heaps rarer in this color faceted than its polished cat's eye counterpart though.

There seems to be a mistake in the lab report; they wrote 'orangish green' when they must have meant to write 'greenish orange'.

***COLORS AND ACCURACY***

All of our images are extensively, carefully and thoroughly edited and color-matched to reflect the stones in normal diffused daylight viewing conditions by editing with the stone and the monitor side by side in daylight. Consequently, the colors in the photos are as close as they get to reality when viewed on a normal monitor with a generic RGB display calibration profile - this includes most mobile devices but if in doubt, please always check on a desktop/laptop.

If you'd like more photos or videos of anything, please by all means just e-mail anytime.

***SHIPPING***

Tracked and insured shipping is included in the price.

***PAYMENT***

PayPal preferred under $1,000. Over $1,000 a direct bank TT is preferable but PayPal is still an option if their fees are covered.

***RETURNS***

Returns are totally okay but please note that they come minus the insured shipping costs paid to send you the stones. A government-issued invoice signed and stamped by Customs, government valuer-gemmologists and postal agents for stones + shipping comes within every parcel with the exact breakdown of shipping and insurance costs paid on export. Most of the time those amount to $55-60 for sub $1k value stones.
