Recent TSV (gemday) - morganite question

Julie_23 — Mon, 26 Feb 2018 02:18:12 GMT

Does anyone notice the morganite stone in the TSV ring as being hazy/clouded at all? I don't know if my eye is playing tricks or not; but, it will occasionally look hazy/clouded. And, then, go back to being "clear" (so to speak).

I do not figure it collected enough dirt to be doing that in such a short time. Nor, would it then go back to being where I can see the facets (more 'clear').

Sorry for what may seem like an odd question. I know it's a cushion cut (and not brilliant), but it does look clouded at times. Does anyone else notice this?

Thanks!

I forgot to mention the lighting is the same. Hoping some gemstone experts might know!

Cheaper morganite can be a little cloudy. A lot depends on the cut too. If you look at it sideways, it could look a bit cloudy depending on the cut. Some cutters aim for clarity when looking straight down at the gem rather than from various angles. I always check my gems under my bathroom lights or outside in the sun as that seems to tell me more than normal light.
