0.68 ct Purple Sapphire-Color Change - Round

This 0.68-carat color-change sapphire is cut as a round measuring 3.9 x 2.6 mm, with a purple body color, sourced from Sri Lanka.

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. Sri Lanka has produced fine sapphire in every color for two thousand years, prized for transparency and life in the stone. Its color was brought up by heat, a legitimate and accepted practice that the trade discloses and we disclose here.

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. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and photographs it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
