Thank you both!!!!

I wanted to get a pic of it next to a glass of Fanta, since ''Fanta orange'' is the gold standard for the color.

It really is---that descriptive terms is in all the stuffy academic books I have on garnets and also gemstones.

It is not concave cut but you would think it is.

I wish I had a better camera, the cutting is wonderful. It is dirty, however, and when I view under 10x it is a dirt bomb but I still am happy with it.

It''s not? I thought it was because of the lines radiating outwards from the culet on the pavilion.

Ditto. I also thought it''s a concave / quantum cut spess with inclusions that gives it a sleepy/shimmery look. But whatever cut it is, that gem is definitely stunning & BIG (7ct! wow!)
