Sapphire – Natural, Faceted, Purple, 1.06 ct
This is a Songea sapphire that displays a color shift from being more of a greenish puplish blue in natural daylight, to a very pretty reddish purple under incandescent light. It has an inclusion out toward one edge that doesn't seem to show face up. Overall this is a decent stone and a good value for an untreated sapphire. Color: Slightly Greenish Purple Blue to Slightly Reddish Purple, Cut: Round Brilliant, Weight: 1.06, Dimensions: 6 mm. (Information supplied by photo contributor.) © Daniel Stair, CustomGemstones.com
