0.73 ct Blue Sapphire - Round

At 0.73 carats, this sapphire from Madagascar carries its blue color through a round cut, measuring 4.3 x 2.8 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. Madagascar has become a major modern sapphire source, fine material across nearly every color at more reachable prices than the classic localities. Its color was brought up by heat, a legitimate and accepted practice that the trade discloses and we disclose here.

This is a center-stone-grade gemstone with a character of its own, chosen rather than settled for. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
