Its mixed brilliant cut ensnaring light and releasing it with a scintillating display rivaling that of more common gemstones.

Its intense color intensity goes beyond mere descriptions of blue. It embodies the essence of the heavens above and the oceans below, a rich and vibrant spectrum that offers a serenity and a gravitas absent in the more commercial gemstones.
