0.66 ct Orange Sapphire - Oval

At 0.66 carats, this sapphire from Tanzania carries its orange color through an oval cut, measuring 6.2 x 4 mm.

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.

No two of these line up the same way on color, cut, and origin at once, which is what makes choosing this one feel deliberate. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
