The stone has a high degree of facet, the color is very good as well as the form, so good to be cut, the cost of which is amply repaid, although lately prices have risen over the past years up to 500%, especially for best quality stones above the 1-2 carat, as their Afghan counterparts are less and less faceted due to excessive mining the past 50 years which is leading to exhaustion of the mineral.
