All of our sapphires come with a 3D optical scanning report. This report shows the exact faceting angles, dimensions, percent measurement comparison data, and symmetry details for the stone.

We use the latest scanning technology to give us valuation and comparison analytics that were never before available in the gemological industry. We are the only company on the internet that provides this advanced documentation for each of our gemstones. While these reports are not complimentary from other gemological laboratories, we provide these documents for all of our sapphires at no additional charge.

Each report is accompanied by a dust cover which explains the definitions and stone characteristics listed on the report.

All of our sapphires come with a comprehensive identification report issued by our staff gemologists. These reports are not marketing documents, but professional certifications that conform to industry standards and are recognized by all insurance companies.

Some stones are accompanied by a third party laboratory report in addition to our in-house documentation. These stones have been randomly selected from our inventory to be audited by an independent laboratory to maintain our position of quality control and reporting. Not all stones have been evaluated by a third party laboratory.  Gemological testing reports from these institutions are expensive and testing our entire inventory would prove to be cost prohibitive.

The Natural Sapphire Company employs the same GIA (Gemological Institute of America) certified gemologists that third party laboratories employ, use the same technical equipment and have the same standards in reporting.  Our internal reports are as accurate and guaranteed as any high quality third party laboratory.

We recognize the reporting from the following independent laboratories, all of which are members of the LMHC (Laboratory Manual Harmonization Committee): The GIA (Gemological Institute of America), AGTA (American Gem Trade Association), Gubelin Lab (Switzerland) and SSEF Laboratories (Switzerland).
