Pics are taken wet as i pulled it out of cleaning solution to snap a few quick pics..i am removing excess rhyolite and need a good soak..It will appear not as red when its dried ... I guess the UGS report is wrong as here is a larger crystal..79.68cts...have seen 3 other larger(from 2 folks) than 54cts. per UGS survey report..so all i can figure is the 54cts is largest is "known" specimens and all the online sites and UGS report stating largest is 54ct. are outdated or wrong..this is a DT with a step up portion..you can see partial scapre marks where i have been removing rhyolite..needs a good long soak to get more of it..will get pics when it's done and dry
