Octagon step cuts are the classic emerald-cut silhouette, and this stone earns every line of it. The color is a deep, vivid green-blue — saturated all the way to the culet, with none of the tonal fade that afflicts lesser stones in wide-open pavilions like this one. What sets it apart is clarity: the step-cut windows leave nowhere to hide, and this stone has nothing to hide — it reads eye-clean face-up, a rarity in material from this deposit. At 2.09 carats, cut, color, and transparency align rarely enough that this stone stands as one of the finest examples the Sutara deposit has produced. GFCO confirms no heat, no treatment, Sutara origin.
