An especially beautiful example of a South African Stone. The colors from this deposit range from deeper brownish-red to these fiery orange-red gems that are the most recognizable and in-demand stones from this locale. Bright and entirely clean, this is the type of stone we are seeing with less and less frequency these days. Add in a precision US cut and you have one of the best South African Rhodos that we have seen in recent memory. Extremely dispersive and bright - a perfect cut and proportion for this material.
