Comment: It is difficult to objectively grade a gem-variety covering the full color-wheel sometimes with a few pieces plus an abundant of optical surface effects, even in this non-iridescence labradorite, the golden surface, seemingly transparent deep into the body, changing with every viewing point and new light angle. As long as such a labradorite actually is what it is sold for (not plastic or glass) has no flaws, an asymmetric shape or an unpleasant odor (kidding), who is to judge whether the green-orange almond colors are more attractive than a combination of green-blue with golden specks? It is a question of personal taste and relation to colors. Our images are shot indoors, under natural daylight, with no artificial light nor any digital afterwork: What you see is what you get. The IGI image, however, is useless, ignorable. Note the close-ups showing color details and the transitions between hues from opposing sides of the color wheel within millimeters.
