Comments: Nice Teal articulated cut stone. It was heated and then cut.

The original weight of the rough stone was 3.5 carats which cut a 0.95 cts stone or the final stone retained 27% of the original weight of the rough. The reverse photo (which is where one should start looking at a stone) demonstrates classic heat treatment characteristics -that include color dispersion and a color chromosphere spot of darker blue material.
