Purple Sapphire, 1.07 ct Faceted from Madagascar

This stone has an awesome color that is kind of a pink-purple with red and blue flashes. However, because of the clarity, it's priced at about half what a clean Madagascar pink sapphire would go for. It looks great indoors, but not so good in direct sunlight. Photo is a bit washed out looking. The color of this stone is nicely saturated. Color: Rich Hot Purple-Pink, Cut: Step-Cut Arrowhead, Weight: 1.07, Dimensions: 5.8 x 7.8 mm. (Information supplied by photo contributor.) © Daniel Stair, CustomGemstones.com
