BLUE CATSEYE SAPPHIRE – 7 x 5 Millimeter Oval Cabochon – Vintage Natural Thai Material - Made in Maine

The rough crystal for this SAPPHIRE was mined in Thailand. It came out of the ground prior to 1980. Both Sapphire and Ruby are gem varieties of corundum and are classified as precious stones. Sapphire is hard and durable and is found in a wide range sold of colors. Sapphires in any color other than blue are referred to as “fancy” sapphires. This gemstone displays a beautiful medium dark blue color. This 7 x 5 Millimeter Oval Shaped SAPPHIRE weighs 1.23 carats. This BLUE SAPPHIRE is bright and will set-up well. The floating cat's eye is centered and moves all across the stone. The stone has some normal internal inclusions when viewed under magnification. This shows natural origin. This material has NOT been fracture filled. It's NOT created sapphire. WARNING: Some of the “natural” SAPPHIRE offered by foreign cutters isn't natural. It's manmade. Genuine SAPPHIRE over a carat in size, is seldom found in the marketplace and rarely flawless. This Gemstone has been SUPER POLISHED. We're using a 21st Century polishing technique to SUPERPOLISH Gemstones exceptionally brighter than what is normally seen by the public. Gemstones can look different under different types of light. The redder background images were taken with incandescent house light while the other images used a Daylight LED light source. Sunlight is the best light to view most gemstones. Unfortunately, we rarely have sunlight and blue skies in Maine, so outdoor photos are nearly impossible to take. Our prices are at wholesale. A Gift box is included with this purchase. Sapphire is the birthstone for September.
