I finished cutting this stone last night and I have been trying to classify the color ever since. I just can''t wrap any accurate verbiage around the color on this stone. The best description I can come up with is "vermillion". It is ever-so-slightly more orangy than the pic indicates and has an absolutely PERFECT medium saturation. I LOVE the color and it isn''t nearly as included as the pic might indicate. Under 10x, it has 1 small needle and a tiny bubble inclusion. Otherwise, it is spotless.
What would you call it?
BTW, it is .30 ct and cut in a modified RB. I believe it is Thai material that is unheated (some others in the parcel are pretty sleepy which tells me the silk hasn''t been burned off) and was the only stone in the parcel of this color. The others are steely blue, mauve, purple and a few tiny pinks and reds.
