And by Gübelin report no. 0909069 stating Light Orangy-Pink, Natural Color, Internally Flawless. Together with a note stating that the diamond is type IIa, and two Appendices commenting on the 'purity of colour and degree of transparency' possessed by this stone and that 'diamonds of this type, exhibiting an antique cutting style as well as a superior quality, are very rare and will most certainly evoke references to the historic term of Golconda.'
