Comments:
This is one of the largest and cleanest vanadium kornerupines I have had the pleasure of cutting. There are very few quality kornerupine gems in this size, and I like to think this one is extra well designed and produced. It has great meet-points and polish.

The color is slightly deeper than usual, and is dichroic between what I would call lime green and leaf green.
I was aiming to create a shape that is somewhere between oval and cushion, and I think I landed where I wanted - It should fit a setting designed for either shape with minimal modification.
