Item Description
Sapphire is one of those gems that comes in virtually every color of the rainbow. I've seen virtually every color known to man exhibited in Sapphires, and they are still some of the most popular, durable, colorful and highly sought after gems on the planet. This stone is really special becuase it's a multicolor gem with a unique "speckled" appearance that resembles a bird's egg in my mind. The mix of purple/lavender/blue with the tiny black "specks" that can be seen make that is one-of-a-kind gem, and would be worthy of any collection. The color is somewhat dark, but shows up very well when strongly lit. A very attractive "Oval Cabochon" cut Sapphire from one of the premier countries in the world for blue stones!
