1.17 ct Bi-color Sapphire - Round

At 1.17 carats, this sapphire from Thailand carries its bi-color face through a round cut, measuring 5 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. Thailand is both a corundum source and the great cutting and finishing hub of the colored gemstone trade. It is wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement.

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.
