Excellent size and finely cut, these Nigerian stones are hard to pin down in terms of bodycolor. They are, in most lighting, a sort of smoky cranberry hue - a desaturated reddish with some brown modifier. With stronger lighting however, you see the odd orangish pleochroism that really ups the attractiveness of the stone. Entirely clean and a competitive cost.
