Royal Araina Collection: Gemstones that you "fall in love" with
Named after his daughter, the "Royal Araina Collection" is a hand-picked selection of exceptional, noteworthy gemstones by Harshil Zaveri, the founder of StarRuby.in .

Every gemstone in the "Royal Araina Collection" is a rare, timeless treasure highly sought-after by discerning collectors and gem connoisseurs.
Treasures of the Earth
"Treasures of the Earth" is a collection of noteworthy gemstones hand-picked by our team of gemstone experts. Every gemstone in this collection will captivate you with its intrinsic beauty and spectacular flair.
Description
Curation
Curated by: Harshil Zaveri, Founder & CEO
Description: Imagine the ocean sparkling in the moonlight. That's the hypnotic effect of this exquisite 4.17-carat natural Kashmir sapphire as it moves in the light. Its vivid to deep blue hue, unenhanced by heat treatment, as certified by Swiss Gemmological Institute SSEF, saturates the stone well. In addition, the antique-cut cushion shape and color zoning add a sense of mystery that will leave you spellbound.
Gemstone, Origin & Treatments
Species: Natural Corundum
Gemstone & Variety: Natural Blue Sapphire
Geographic Origin: Kashmir - India
Gemologist’s Comments on Geographic Origin: Discovered in 1881 in the Zanskar range of the Himalayan mountains in northwest India, the legendary Kashmir sapphires are the most beautiful and treasured of all blue sapphires.
The finest sapphires from Kashmir have a highly saturated color, along with a characteristic "silkiness" or velvety glow that makes them a phenomenon of nature. With the original mines long depleted, Kashmir sapphires are a rare find and among the most prized of all gemstones today.
Treatments: No Treatments (Unheated/Untreated)
Weight, Measurements & Shape
Weight: 4.17 carats
Measurements (L x W x H): 9.53 x 7.38 x 5.94 mm
Type of Cutting: Faceted
Shape: Rectangular Cushion
Color
Intensity of Color: Vivid to Deep
Shade: Blue
Color Award: "Royal Blue"
Description of Color Award: The exceptionally rich azure blue color of this gem earns it the "Royal Blue" color award
Gemologist’s Comments on Color: Moderate color zoning is seen in this gemstone. Color zoning, a common characteristic in gemstones, is when the color intensity or color purity is not uniform throughout the stone.
Transparency & Clarity
Transparency: Transparent
Clarity grade: Eye-Clean
Clarity description: The stone is completely free from eye-visible inclusions
Fluorescence
Fluorescence is the visible light some gemstones emit when exposed to invisible ultraviolet (UV) rays. We've described below the intensity and color of the gemstone's fluorescence under long-wave UV light (LWUV).
Fluorescence Intensity: Medium
Fluorescence Color: Yellow in Zone
Special Characteristics
Velvety Appearance: This gemstone exhibits an appearance that is classified as "velvety". Such an appearance results from very fine microscopic particles that scatter light, causing the coveted visual effect without negatively affecting the gem's transparency. Gemstones with a velvety appearance have little to no extinction, display a warm glow, and look very pleasing to the eye. Therefore, velvety appearance is considered a highly sought-after trait in gemstones. The most prominent examples of gemstones coveted for their velvety appearance are the legendary Kashmir sapphires.
Gemological Reports
This item is accompanied by the following gemological report. We will ship the original report along with the item.
Swiss Gemmological Institute SSEF report # 114477
The accompanying SSEF report authenticates this gemstone as a "Natural Sapphire" of "Kashmir" origin with "No indications of heating" and describes the color as "blue of medium strong saturation". In addition, the special letter associated to the SSEF report states the approximate age of this sapphire as "23 million years", which is in agreement with the age of sapphire formation in the Himalayan mountains in Kashmir (India).
