Comment: To show off its deep orange red, the emerald-cut was well chosen. Not pushy, but an elegant hue with a gleaming inner life, rather hard brilliancy, as always in this shape. No inclusions, even under the lens. Perfect cutting, finest polish, no window, and of course, untreated. AIGS called it 'brownish orange', but I see more orange red (with orange being a sub-section of brown). In this compact shape, even near six carats are not too much for a mid-sized ring, gent's or lady's from 6. Affordable gem in this color section, competing with spinel at well under $500/ct. At Medium-Dark 80 a mystic red-gleaming character.
