A mixed brilliant cut distinguishes this particular sapphire, offering an extraordinary interplay of light and depth. This specific faceting technique has been meticulously applied to enhance the stone's natural fire and scintillation. The result is a gemstone that dances with light, capturing attention and admiration from even the most discerning eye. Unlike many sapphires that may present only a subtle deviation in color or clarity, this piece is notable for its intense blue shade, making it a rare find not easily paralleled by commonly available options.

Moving to the clarity grade, evaluated at eye level, this sapphire is recognized as very slightly included.
