Comment: An outstanding crystal lends this padparadscha an equally outstanding brilliancy. Shiny orange pink, mild yet flashy, salmon colored glow with rare visibility in this by-definition tender color. Giant face (9x5mm) of a 2+ct gem. Perfect hand-cut. Note the round veil which would have been burned out in the usual 'production' progress. Ultra-rare quality even within our 3*NOS of excellence: No visible inclusions (lens AND sharp eye only, AIGS certified untreated padparadscha in textbook perfection. Best pedigree, full size, ever rarer material. This is lasting value, durable, pretty, tax and maintenance free, mobile asset. Not cheap but check again in 10 years...
