"my stone is a pretty red with an orangeish/brown tiinge to it but when i louped it i saw no plum or purple hues...it is a good size and has a bigger window...i like it but have to send mine back due to inclusions on front of stone that can be seen by the eye.. had they been on the side(hidden by the setting) i would have kept it...hope my next one is as pretty and better."

"This stone is absolutely gorgeous! I wasn't sure what I would get , after reading reviews stating that there were purple hues in it. But when I got it and I checked it out with the loupe, I saw what they meant. It is a beautiful red with a brownish tinge, but inside is just a hint of plum. Great stone for the price!"
