These have become extremely popular gems for us, and it is not difficult to see why. The color is so rich - a deep, saturated purple with a great reddish flash. This is the color that is meant when enthusiasts use the old 'siberian' term. Great size and a fine, precision cut, there is nothing at all to detract here - one tiny veil visible under 10x well off towards the girdle Moreover, in a world of seemingly ever-present treatment, it is comforting to know that these stones are completely natural and untreated.
