DESCRIPTION:

This is nice large chunky crystal section; however, it unfortunately does have some inclusions! These inclusions will force you to decide between one of two options depending on clarity and yield preferences. You can chose to cut one single stone with the C Axis serving as the table. Most inclusions run down the C Axis and therefore should mask up well if you take this approach; however, the finished stone will probably be very slightly included at best and more likely somewhere between very slightly and slightly included.

The second approach that you can take is to divide this up into multiple stones to cut for clarity. We estimate 3-4 finished stones of roughly equal size that face up eye-clean to very slightly included. I would probably recommend the second approach. We have discounted this stone to reflect the clarity and it should be purchased accordingly.
