Comments: "Interesting pigment distribution in this untreated gem.(70% Blue ;30% yellow).

Cut all the apprentices know well because they are given the small and flat stones to learn with.

The stone has a couple of internal fractures at the surface of the Pavilion. 

It would require recutting to fix.  FOco Gems chose not to fix this due to the nature of this stone (not a nugget cut).

Cotton fibers from the stone packing cases may be photographed on the stone.
