Comments: "This stone is a classic example of how to handle a color band in a stone.

The original rough was small at 1.9 Cts. This cut a 0.73 cts stone or retained 38%

The north end of the stone pavilion had a small patch of faceting adhesive remaining. (see Photo) this was removed on the stone.

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