Comment: Same family, same mine but so different from emerald, on the opposite side of the spectrum, in fact, this yellow beryl is clean and almost liquid in character, but really harder than a coffin nail (if you know where I stole this you get 10% off). The color is elusive on photo, a hint of ivory without the dead elephant, also fancy diamond yellow, some green perhaps but definitely less than on images; the distanced handshot does best in terms of color presentation. Exquisite Swedish cutting, perfection by Conny Forsberg, another revelation of what is possible today when it comes to precision cuts, even in a simple shape. Giant 11x10mm, no window (of course not, after Conny cut down from former 8 carats), no inclusions, no treatments, first class pedigree but not yet expensive as a little known member of the beryl family, at least when compared to aquamarine and emerald. Excellent starting point for a posh ring with diamond show. Lab report and all else included.
