Weighing an impressive 1.37 carats, this transparent sapphire measures 6.30 x 6.26 x 3.95 mm, a testament to its substantial presence and luster. Crafted in the highly coveted asscher cut, known for its ability to optimize brilliance and clarity, the stone exhibits a unique blend of step cuts and beveied corners, facilitating a hall of mirrors effect that captivates the eye.

In fact, its transparency ensures that each facet of the stone contributes to its luminous velvet-like appearance, with an excellent polish reflecting the meticulous craftsmanship synonymous with The Natural Sapphire Company's commitment to excellence.

In comparison to other gemstones in the sapphire category, this cobalt piece maintains a clarity and brightness unmatched by its peers. While rubies contend with inclusions and emeralds navigate surface-reaching fissures, this blue sapphire's very slight inclusions are subtle enough to maintain clarity without hindering its glistening allure. The asscher cut, rare among sapphires, accentuates the stone's optical brilliance, setting it apart from the more commonly faceted round or oval counterparts.
