Pretty morganite with awesome setting.  So I guess you do like the Portugese cut.

Thanks.

There's nothing wrong with portugese cuts on coloured gemstones.  I like them for larger pieces (makes for more interesting facet patterns) and darker stones (extra facets seem to help with getting more brilliance and brightness).
