Mostly argent, this blazing Gem exudes tremendous radiance and brilliance, along with surfaces that are about as close to flawless as one can hope to achieve. A hint of burnt sienna simply augments the allure and appeal of this specimen, which should undoubtedly be on the lists of countless connoisseurs.
