ACCOMPANIED BY REPORT NO. 1142575717 DATED 7 AUGUST 2012 FROM THE GEMOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF AMERICA STATING THAT THE 6.04 CARAT DIAMOND IS D COLOUR, INTERNALLY FLAWLESS CLARITY; ALSO ACCOMPANIED BY A SUPPLEMENTAL LETTER FROM THE GEMOLOGICAL INSTITUTE OF AMERICA STATING THE 6.04 CARAT DIAMOND HAS BEEN DETERMINED TO BE TYPE IIA. TYPE IIA DIAMONDS ARE THE MOST CHEMICALLY PURE TYPE OF DIAMOND AND OFTEN HAVE EXCEPTIONAL OPTICAL TRANSPARENCY. TYPE IIA DIAMONDS WERE FIRST IDENTIFIED AS ORIGINATING FROM INDIA (PARTICULARLY FROM THE GOLCONDA REGION) BUT HAVE SINCE BEEN RECOVERED IN ALL MAJOR DIAMOND-PRODUCING REGIONS OF THE WORLD.

ADDITIONALLY THIS 6.04 CARAT DIAMOND POSSESSES AN ANTIQUE CUTTING STYLE WHICH IS RARELY ENCOUNTERED IN THE GEM TRADE TODAY. IT DISPLAYS A COLOUR AND DEGREE OF TRANSPARENCY WHICH ARE PARTICULAR TO THE UNIQUE GEMSTONES OF TYPE IIA. DIAMONDS OF THIS TYPE, EXHIBITING AN ANTIQUE CUTTING STYLE AS WELL AS A FINE QUALITY, ARE VERY RARE AND WILL MOST CERTAINLY EVOKE REFERENCES TO THE HISTORIC TERM OF 'GOLCONDA'
