Despite a dash of blue, still a vivid green type emerald. Thanks to the relatively low density, a 1.21 carat emerald can 'make' 9x5mm without window. The, in our photos easily visible, emerald garden and the silvery crystal left the gem with a 'moderately included' but it is nothing too bad in emerald and simply a function of price. Free of inclusions and vivid green in natural emerald is a a costly demand, think of an additional zero, or two in the price-tag. This 1.17 is a good looking emerald with THE green that made the variety famous since time immortal, and all under $2k with free shipping, full lab reporting, rainforest buying, animal rights fighting, grading and all other loving details.
