I think you are the first! I was looking there two days ago and didn't see that. And it is my "birthstone" so I always look for that.

For me, if I had the money, this would be a high priority gem! I just can't keep from watching lol! When I think of fine topaz, this will be what I see in my head from now on.

Granted I didn't watch the video, but if its really that red, who needs Mahenge spinel and Burmese ruby? :cheeky:

It is so gorgeous that I can easily forgive the almost non existent crown.

Noticed the crown too. I also notice a lot of AJS's videos don't do much for the stone when its facing the camera but looks great from other angles. I wonder why that is -- maybe the harsh light is responsible.

(Sorry for the typo in my last post)

Shadowing from the video equipment would be my best guess.

I think the camera reflection may be interfering with how the stone looks in their videos. I know I have this problem when I use my still camera.

It's not an bad cut but the crown is very low. Almost flat looking That typically results in less sparkle. Actually, I'm not 100% sure if it has the same effect in step cuts.
