Comment: Gold- or copper-hue in a lustrous gem. See under 'more images' shots with different amounts of reflections to pin down the body color, also a close-up image without refections that shows the clean crystal. Classic color in untreated zircons but a rare color in other gems (some tourmalines have this hue). The precision cut adds a scissor designs into an emerald shape giving luster and color at once. No window, no inclusions, no treatments. Fine polish. Probably too long for a ring setting, and better suited for a elegant pendant, mild but beautiful in all light settings, orange with some red in a light brown. Five carats of flawless, durable, brilliant and natural colored gem for under 2$k. In the handshot it looks darker than IRL. Images on wood are spot on. A simple four prong pendant will be delightfully delicate and utterly unique.
