SEDA GEMS

 SAPPHIRE PARCEL

This is a natural sapphire parcel  of blue /green stones mined in Australia . They are small bight stones suited as accent stones.I bought a large parcel of these stones from a miner who had then for years so they are old stock. We did a randon test and some are not heated but others clearly were so we are listing the whole the parcel as heated.

Good luster

Some of the stones in the photo and video are upside down.

The weight is accurate but the stones vary in sizes so we have included the largest one in the parcel

  Sapphire is one of the two gem varieties of the species corundum. Although blue is the best known hue, the gem occurs in virtually every spectral hue excepting red. Red corundum is a ruby. Sapphire may also be colorless, and it also occurs in the non-spectral shades, gray and black. Yellow and green sapphires have traces of iron that gives them their color. Pink sapphires have a trace of the element chromiumand the deeper the color pink the higher their monetary value as long as the color is going toward the red of rubies. Sapphires also occur in shades of orange and brown, and colorless sapphires are sometimes used as diamond substitutes in jewelry. Salmon-color padparadscha sapphires often fetch higher prices than many of even the finest blue sapphires.
