DESCRIPTION – please view photos as part of the description

Stock Number:  0210004005605060417

Gem Stone:    Corundum var. Sapphire

Shape:    Emerald Step Cut

Colour:    Blue

Clarity:      VS

Pieces:    1pc

Brightness:    Bright

Treatment:    Heat ONLY

EXTREMELY IMPORTANT: When a gemstone is HEAT TREATED ONLY it means that only heat has been applied and in most instances is considered standard trade practice. Those gems which are not Heat treated demand a minimum premium of 30%.

When you see gems listed with a treatment of heat, this does not mean heat only. Glass filling, Beryllium treatment, diffusion coating etc are all applied by heat. These other treatments have a huge bearing in the price. It is simply impossible for a reputable dealer to supply a top blue sapphire or ruby for a few dollars. Ask questions and clarify this for your own peace of mind.

(NB: due to the size of the photos some inclusions do not show as much in real life)

PHOTOGRAPHS

Where ever possible gemstones are photographed under natural daylight with a neutral background. Photos of gemstones are of the original gem for sale. NO STOCK PHOTOS. Photographing gemstones is extremely difficult in duplicating the exact colour and details

Video is taken under artificial daylight.

We try to do our utmost to obtain the most precise results. Please be aware that different monitors maybe set to different resolution or colours may show up slightly differently from monitor to monitor.
