11.5mm x 8.1M just about the most vibrant blue stone they had in stock - $$ 15K.

Heated stone

The cut/window plus the heat treatment makes $15k for this 4ct pear overpriced. Not sure if you're set on getting a pear, but for a heated stone with that kind of money, this is what you should be looking for instead. https://mastercutgems.com/Products-...e_4_12_carat_CG-_Sri_Lanka-Gem.php?FromPage=1

Have you seen this stone in person? From this photo, I can see color zoning (those stripes you see going across the top) which makes me wonder if the color is even.

Second question is whether you have seen this stone in NS orientation as i believe dark blue pears tend to black out, especially at the tip. This may be why they photographed it sideways.

I think this is EXTREMELY overpriced! Not worth even close to 15k in total. It will be dark in person, and the color zoning is obvious.

Can you share your wish list in terms of size, color, etc?

This is EXACTLY THE ONE I'd recommend.

bad cut, color zoned, bad price and heated.
For 15k there are unheated beauties out there.
