This is some very decent rough folks... the color is pale blue-green (which indicates it is NOT heat treated, though who knows..), there is wonderful clarity with very slight inclusions (eye clean). There IS a significant veil with bubbles,fairly straight perpendicular to the crystal- this will give 2 pieces: 8.5 & 15 mm. There will then be a minor veil in the larger piece (i would leave it), if cut there would be 2 other pieces: 8.5 & 5.5 mm. Either way, all is good and all pieces would cut nicely. 24x 9.5x 9 mm; 22.2+ cts., $55.00.
