I’ve just stumbled upon a *pixelated* cut tanzanite which I have never seen before.
Is it possible to find other stones in this cut?
it looks like it may have been cut that way to hide impurities in the stone - but perhaps it’s just to maximise light play with a stone that would otherwise be *blah* in colour and movement. So is it clever cutting or an illusion?
Either way I think it’s a lovely piece for the price.
Please check the video in the link as the pictures don’t do it justice.
Also noted they only show a front profile.
