A somewhat larger stone for the species, gems of 1 carat are the norm here - this works well as the rough simply is not inclined to cut larger stones and the material is dark. Generally, when over 2 ct. the stones are simply not as bright. That said, this lovely gem has a very respectable amount of brilliance and the rich color is instantly recognizable. Really top grade material and a fine size.
