Included, medium toned, blue dot of color.#1127
Sometimes I can tell when a stone has been a real problem and this is one of them. It is pretty included and such a small size that i am sure that its destiny did not start out that way. … Continue reading

This is small enough to be a dot and it is, a beautiful blue Namibian one.#785
There is something about a Namibian blue that stands out even when it is as small as this blue dot of color. It is not just its color, but the great medium tone that goes with it in these smaller … Continue reading
