AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This stone is a natural rainbow moonstone (white labradorite), but it presents optical and cutting characteristics that are very different. Here is the detailed analysis based on the new images:

Description
* Color and optical effects: This gem boasts an exceptional color flash. It shows a strong bi-color adularescence: depending on the angle, it reveals a vibrant electric blue tone (very well defined) that fades into a warm yellow-gold/amber reflection.
* Inclusions: The body of the stone is semi-transparent. Inside you can see several internal fissures and "growth planes" typical of the mineral family of feldspars, which create an internal appearance similar to fractured ice.

Shape and Dimensions
* Cut: Navette or Marquise cabochon (elongated shape with pointed ends, bulging and smooth top surface, flat base).
* Dimensions: Length is about 2.3 cm (looking at the ruler upside down in the photo with inches), while the maximum width is about 1 cm.
* Weight: 1 gram (equal to 5 carats). Although longer than the first stone, it weighs half because it is noticeably thinner and less domed.

Price is influenced by the following factors:
* Strengths: The blue and gold reflection is extremely vivid, centered, and attractive. The marquise/navette cut is very elegant and sought after for creating pendants or rings with an elongated design.
* Limitations: The stone is rather thin and shows many internal fractures visible that partially compromise crystalline transparency. Additionally, one of the pointed ends of the cut appears to show a slight irregularity or structural fragility due to natural cleavage lines.

*Not being an expert on the matter, I leave to experts the correct evaluation of the lot whether it corresponds to natural mineral or synthetic*
