Questions about a peachy pink sapphire

[pinkjewel]

I've been looking for a light toned peachy pink sapphire- yeah, I know- questionable Pad color. A vendor sent me this picture today which looks like it has a huge window, but am I seeing more of a tilt window? The vendor says they cut it in a portugese cut and it doesn't have a window- although it's a little on the shallow side. I have asked for a hand shot and will post once I have that one,too. The sapphire is untreated and from Africa.

Tilt window for sure since the stone is tilted. It is large though, probably from the sapphire being shallow and there's little the lapidary can do about it.

thanks, Chrono. Just got this picture- window looks much better- but now the sapphire looks very pink!!

Indeed; the orange just walked out of the stone.

I would want a table down view as well, to properly judge the shallowness of it. The window could be lost between her fingers there.
