Comments:
Winza sapphires are known far and wide for their SUPER cool / odd / wacky color combinations. The various common shades of pink, orange, purple, and inky blurple hark back to the neon 90's.
This gem has a really cool color comobo of purplish pink on one axis, and orangey pink on the other axis -- which is ALREADY a cool combination -- And then on top of that you have a big SLASH of deep blurple color, along with a few thin slivers of purple / blurple. This really sets things off.
As the light bounces aroundi n this gem, you get ALL kinds of color combinations, and bursts of color and pattern. This gem is a tad dark in certain lighting situations, from certain angles, but honestly, the pinkand purple is just bursting out of these dark moments, and it shows off all of its dynamic range quite readily.
