1.96 ct Purple Sapphire - Round

At 1.96 carats, this sapphire from Madagascar carries its purple color through a round cut, measuring 7.1 x 4.9 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. Madagascar has become a major modern sapphire source, fine material across nearly every color at more reachable prices than the classic localities. 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 filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
