    "This gem has magnificent green color. It shows good clarity, and is lovely to look at. The cut is thick along the girdle, which could affect the ability to set the stone, but this doesn't affect the showy appearance of the gem. Although 4mm is a small size, this stone came in at .60 ct., and it's lovely appearance makes a big impact."
