A large and simply stunning purple Sapphire of the first order. Entirely clean, unheated and well cut this one is special - the color is a fantastic purple-violet that is just the right tone. Not dark at all, it is rich and perfectly ‘grape jelly’ in most lighting. As with many in this part of the spectrum, the color will shift a bit more toward purple with incandescent lighting; a lovely effect that we could grade as a color-shift. The cutting is far above the industry norm and is finely done with an excellent polish. Beautiful unheated gem.
