Comments: This was a piece of a massive crystal destroyed while a miner was accessing a larger pocket as per translation. 

Original rough 9.5 cts which cut a 3.62 cts stone or a huge 59% percent of the original was retained.  

The stone is only rated at a VS-SI but the hue is rich.  Price reflects the internal character of a VS-SI stone (Many would judge this VVS or VS)
