Please forgive the fly-by -- I am dog tired and have to get up early again tomorrow for a meeting downtown. But I'll be back to thank everyone for the nice comments and for the help that some of you offered along the way! I've also go the GIA cert here somewhere in case any gem geeks want to see the stats (and I say "geeks" with pure love in my heart!). Off the top of my head all I can remember is that it's a little over 8-1/2 cts, about 11.2 x 11.1, and is unheated.
wow wow wow WOW! The color is incredible! The cut is amazing! The Cadillac diamonds, spectacular! The overall effect, PERFECT! Yes please do share more pictures!
