Round Brilliant Appraisal

Round Brilliant Cut Loose Gemstone

The item is a loose, faceted gemstone cut in a round brilliant style. The stone exhibits a light to medium gray-blue or possibly lavender hue, which appears somewhat muted due to lighting conditions within the image. Its facets are clearly distinguishable, indicating a standard brilliant cutting pattern designed to maximize sparkle. There is a prominent orange-brown inclusion or internal characteristic visible near the center of the stone, running vertically. This inclusion appears to be a needle-like or feather inclusion, impacting the clarity of the stone. The surface of the stone appears relatively clean from major scratches or abrasions, though detailed examination requires higher resolution. The overall size cannot be accurately determined without a reference object, but it appears to be of a moderate size suitable for a ring or pendant setting. The color saturation is not intense, suggesting it could be a natural stone with color zoning or a treated gemstone, or possibly a simulant. Without further testing, its exact identification as a diamond, sapphire, spinel, moissanite, or other material is impossible from the image alone. The cutting quality appears fair to good, with some asymmetry potentially noticeable in the facet reflections. There are no visible markings or signatures on the stone itself, which is typical for loose gemstones. Its estimated age is indeterminate from the provided image. The stone shows good polish on its facets, reflecting ambient light well, particularly from the distinct light source creating a strong reflection on its table or crown facets. The condition is good, aside from the prominent internal inclusion.
