1.01 ct Purple Sapphire - Round

This 1.01-carat sapphire is cut as a round measuring 6.2 x 3.8 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. It is heat-treated, the common and honest preparation for most sapphire and ruby on the market, disclosed on every listing.

One of a kind, it exists exactly once; there is no second example to size up or down. It is the rarer object, and the kind of gemstone that becomes an heirloom. Caveman Gems hand-selects every gemstone and films it in good light, to give you the truest look a screen can.
