Strange princess?

[stone-cold11]

Found this stone with a weird looking image.

Anyone can tell me how that image comes about? Cutting or lighting?

I have no idea, I've never seen one like that before. My "guess" would be, due to cutting mostly.

I'll give you a bump and maybe we'll get an answer. I'm curious too.

combo of the 2...
Cut so it is showing a lot of obstruction then it is a very high obstruction environment.
IS/ASET would look better but not top of the line.

calling it ideal is not right.

Thanks strm.

Stone-cold - I was looking at this Princess on JA and had them send me the Aset image. My hunch was that it had 2 chevrons vs the normal 3 or 4 you see. As you can see it does not have much fire or brilliance - I passed on it.

Wow.


Nug, thanks for that.

Thanks, Nug.

Wow, lots of green, still wondering how on Earth can it be cut until that... Must take some skill...

I am curious as to why you say this. What affect do you attribute to two chevrons versus three?

Yep. The photo and ASET show 3 chevrons pretty clearly, as does the GIA report.

Never seen a nearly all green ASET before.

It was my initial thought at first since it had less of a crushed ice look. This wasnt the case when I got the Aset

Interesting case study. Thanks.

Interesting look and wow to a lot of green on the ASET image.
