Description
Excellent, and very large, Diamond with terrific luster and a deep translucent yellow color. It appears to have a tetrahexahedron habit or is perhaps a twinning of intergrown modified octohedra - I am not sure which ?! It is certainly sharply defined and showing an unusual number of faces. Anyways, it is big, pretty, and I think priced cheaply too.
