Comment: No green can be found in this chrysoberyl, only yellow. At a 'Medium Dark 70' as deep as yellow can possibly be. Mirror-like lustre. No inclusions, even under the lens. Full GIA report. Big face with 9x7mm but no window. The cutter must have been indecisive as to whether he was going for oval or cushion, so he ended up somewhere in between, which put a dent in the cutting-grade ('good' only) and may be criticised, or you may not care, or even better, it may be just what you looked for, and then it earns you a fat discount. Great hue and tone in yellow (if you have also been looking for yellow sapphire, this is a rare colour, even reminding me of beryllium treated corundum, yak-yak).
