This piece has the brilliance of a "diamond"! A sweet lilac color from Mogok, better than the colors you see from the Pamir mines in Afghanistan. Very clean and well cut and I must say well priced. Prices in Myanmar for such stones has "gone through the roof"! The reality of it is that someone out there is paying. The "Ukraines" buyers as the locals call all Russian - Soviet citizens are known to have a high appreciation for the lighter hues and a high dislike for anything with inclusions and they do pay the price. This one is a favorite! A "diamond fire" darling! LA/May 22,2011 |
