Comments:
Here's a nice, sharp, richly green accent sized kornerupine. The extra rich coloration is due to the vanadium content, which in this gem's case, is pretty high!
It's a proportionally perfect oval! Has a great pattern, and brilliance that dances from one side of the gem clear to the other in-hand. No dead spots or windowing.
This gem could be used as an accent stone, OR as a smaller-sized solitaire stone. It CAN stand on it's own, as it's got incredible, piercing color, even from a distance.
