0.84 ct Gray Sapphire-Color Change - Emerald Cut

At 0.84 carats, this color-change sapphire from Sri Lanka carries its gray color through an emerald cut, measuring 5.5 x 5.4 x 3.3 mm.

Sapphire is the gem form of corundum, second only to diamond in hardness among the classic gemstones, which is why it wears so well in jewelry worn daily. Sri Lanka has produced fine sapphire in every color for two thousand years, prized for transparency and life in the stone. It is entirely untreated; no heat, no enhancement, the color exactly as the earth made it.

A single natural gemstone with no duplicate behind it; once it is set or collected, there is no other. It will outlast everyone who owns it, which is most of what an heirloom really is. Hand-selected and photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
