It is a window shaped like a bowtie, you can see it right in the middle. They are common in rectangular cushions and ovals, especially when they are a little shallow. Great color on that though. Itis hard to tell from the photo but it looks to me like there is a big chip out of one facet. First pic, bottom center right

One other thought ......... have you cropped the photos of the gem to anonymise it? The reason I ask is that the photos look tampered with.
HD this is what a bowtie looks like and it''s caused by a gem being too shallow and the cut:

i know depth % varies for different refractive index and stones.
is depth % calculated as depth/ width (and not depth / length) ? (need to reconfirm)
I wouldn''t use numbers. Use your eyes.Date: 5/18/2010 3:54:08 PM

yes at the end of the day, it is all what the eyes seeDate: 5/18/2010 3:59:04 PM
I edited my post earlier about the colour and I would urge caution if you want a vibrant stone. Typically (and this is generally speaking) these colour spinels look fabulous in incandescent light but black out in natural light. I have a stoplight red one that is simply phenomenal inside, outside I may as well be wearing an Onyx!
