Kenyan Blue Green Feldspar Heart

Hepta Heart Design by Michiko Huynh
Faceting by Michiko Huynh

Size and weight: 11.5 mm wide x 11.5 mm long x 7.4 mm deep and 4.40 carats

NOTE: This stone still has a few large but faint feathers (or inclusions). It is a bright and beautiful stone nonetheless. It is practically eye-clean. It is a good example how a cut can mask the inclusions. However, it is a difficult stone for the photographer. It shows how the human eye and camera focus things differently. Besides gemstones are magnified in photography, I guess the difference comes from the binocularity of the eye and the monocularity of the camera. Consequently the gem photography reveals the inclusions much worse than the human vision. This stone must be seen in person.
