Here's a completely unedited video of this stone in natural sunlight:
Description: This stunning oblong and shiny rough diamond has a beautiful sunny glow to it. Amazingly, in most light sources and especially in the sun, this stone glows bright white and appears to be a very white stone. In reality, and under lower light, the base color of the diamond from certain angles is a slight golden hue which gives it a happy and sunshiney feeling to it. The stone is bright and shiny and full of light. The color distribution within the stone is also interesting - at its very apex and center it is white and clear, and as the crystal spreads, it takes on deeper hues of golden yellow. The result is just fantastic and this will make a fancy and beautiful ring. Set in yellow gold, the effect will be amazing. The windows on the stone are each smooth with lines between them that are structured with fine terminations, this also has the effect of the rough diamond having it sown natural facets, "cut" by its crystalline formation. It's such a beautiful and fancy piece. It will look lovely in any setting, and can be set either north-south or east-west along the finger.
