Another stone I've listed before, withdrawn, and am now re-listing... I have too many loose stones.
I purchased this preloved from another PSer in 2015. She had set the stone. I had Erika Winters set it in my RDG mount after I removed and repurposed the diamond, but the colour wasn't quite right... She's been loose in my gem box for four years.
I'm attaching a screenshot of the original listing, sent to me by the original purchaser. To my eyes, despite Gene's description, in most lighting environments the stone shows orangy pink - with pink being the primary colour.
The stone is in excellent condition: No nicks, no chips, no visible scratches, culet intact. Under the loupe fine scratching and slight facet wear is visible - neither of these is visible on close inspection without loupe.
The stone has an internal feather/fissure - see photos (taken through a loupe). The stone is 100% eye-clean from as close as you can focus - I had no idea the inclusion was present until I louped the stone from the pavilion, and I wouldn't be surprised if the original owner also had no idea! It is not surface-breaking and has no impact on durability.
My purchase price was $250. Asking $205 and price is firm - I'm happy to keep it if it doesn't sell
