0.95 Ct. Bi Color Star Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Hand fashioned as a cabochon to reveal its luminous star, it measures 6.11 by 5.20 by 3.01 mm, showing a medium intense color that shifts across subtle bi color zones, and an excellent polish that uplifts the gem to a radiant clarity. The clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which gives the stone authentic character while preserving transparency, and there has been no enhancement, a testament to its natural formation and to the trust we place in truly original stones.
