Comment: Same color quality as 5.00 but here with a clean crystal, the additional light adding a brighter yellow-orange tone. On images some black spots become visible but they show only under the lens and sit on the outer surface on the back (see more images). Fiery luster, flawless cutting, perfect shape and size for an elegant pendant. Similar to hessonite we see a swirling liquid crystal type that gives the luster a glowing wave character rather than a distinct facet-by-facet reflection. See back side image where light falls in pillars. No window, no visible inclusions, no treatments, perfect color. IMO, pear does not work well in rings, but if you consider, keep the tip protected for sake of the gem and friends.
