I have been looking for a cushion cut chrysoberyl ~7 mm in diameter, with that neon green-yellow color. I found one, but it has inclusions that are visible at close range. The inclusions are like fingerprint inclusions.
Do I keep on looking? My impression is that it's very hard to find one of the color, size and cut I want. Most chrysoberyls I've seen are oval, round, and/or do not have a neon quality.
I think some will answer that if the inclusions both me, not to go for it. I have to see the stone in person to determine this. The vendor is overseas (I am in the US), so I am on the fence bc of the difficulty with a return.
Thoughts? Should I expect chrysoberyls to have inclusions?
Please do not post chryoberyls lest someone post the one I am thinking of, and a lurker snatches it.
