Yes
Interesting to speculate, especially the 2 largest gems.
And I certainly hope that Ms Berry, is at the top of her game, when she cuts/polishes those stones.
From our 20/01/2017 Ann
''Mustang Special Stones
A parcel of five special stones (Figure 2 below) weighing a total of 76.65cts, including two rare 24ct high
quality rubies, will be cut by specialist gemstone cutter Meg Berry. Ms Berry has more than 38 years’
experience in the cutting of fine gemstones and is widely acclaimed for her expertise in cutting ruby and
other coloured gemstones.
All five stones have been confirmed as suitable for cutting without heat treatment. Typical cutting yields
for gem/facet quality ruby from Mozambique can range from 30% to 60% depending on several factors
such as the number of inclusions in the stone & the colour saturation. However, one of the most
important factors for achieving a high-yield, high-quality final product is the skill of the cutter which can
materially influence the value of these high-end stones.''
