How to grade Larimar
01
Colour saturation
Record the dominant hue, saturation and consistency under stated viewing conditions.
02
Pattern & contrast
Describe the visible veining, contrast and pattern without turning a house category into a value guarantee.
03
Purity
Record staining, inclusions, fractures, repairs and treatments separately from colour and pattern.
