Comment: Lovely colored pear shape with a rose hue in the tip and then, without a clear border, passing to a lively pinkish purple in the bottom. The experienced collector knows this to be a general effect of pear shapes or marquise but is also a true color concentration in the slender part of the crystal. The one inclusions is practically invisible even under the lens unless you want to get a serious headache searching for it; and you may not find it so consider this beauty to be free of inclusions. Precison cut with zero window but a 3+ct face. Finest gemstone quality for a charming pendant.
