0.52 ct Orange Sapphire - Oval

This 0.52-carat sapphire is cut as an oval measuring 6 x 4 mm, with an orange body color, sourced from Tanzania.

Sapphire is corundum, one of the hardest materials in the gem world after diamond, and it comes in every color the species holds except the red the trade reserves for ruby. Tanzania's deposits at Songea and Tunduru produce sapphire in an unusually wide range of colors. It carries a beryllium diffusion treatment, a modern heat-and-diffusion process, disclosed plainly here as on every listing.

This is a center-stone-grade gemstone with a character of its own, chosen rather than settled for. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and films it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
