What does a stone being "slightly greyish" mean to the performance of a Mahenge?

In this case, I don't think tone is the one contributing to the slight grayishness described, but rather the saturation level isn't high.

BTW, you did verify with the vendor that none of the inclusions break the surface, correct?
I didn't verify anything about the inclusions because I'm impulsive and lame, but I have a good jeweler who I can have look at it, and thankfully there's a return policy.Chrono|1316087470|3018078 said:When tone increases (gets darker) either together or independently of saturation (vividness of colour), and/or vice versa, the gemstone will pick up a gray modifier.

I can't wait to hear the opinions on this one. I think it looks amazing with the color and saturation Athena has been looking for this quest!athenaworth|1316105035|3018257 said:Here's another one that's coming in my quest
