    Notes:
    This gem was cut by me from a heated 5.3 carat piece of rough bought in 2001. Nigerian material has always been more on the saturated shade of blue but this gem is clean and rich blue and not black. I did the mixed cut as a brilliant cut tends to make them even more saturated in color. It will look very nice in a white metal. It also will fit a standard 7 x 5 mount. Basic heat only.. Looks better in person than in the photos and the hand shot is more accurate as to the true color of the gem in real life.
