[QUOTE="user 4386, post: 421778, member: 4386"] An additional descriptive term preceding the gem name, like flawed, rutilated, cloudy etc. Often made up on a particular mineral field (like champagne diamonds, that became marketable because of an intensive marketing campaign). Although I am to a significant degree a mineralogist, I see new names every few weeks that I have never heard before, but of course they are invented for marketing (particularly common in relation to place names in the USA).
