THIS IS A GENUINE EARTH MINED SAPPHIRE. Appraisal by a master valuer ( at time of this listing I am using Steven Knight GG, R.M.V., CJA-CAP) for a retail replacement value of $ 835 Canadian Feel free to download a copy of the appraisal unsigned and unsealed. As I have already partially paid to have his appraisal, I can arrange a signed ,sealed copy of his appraisal to be sent to you for an additional $30, made out in your name, and converted to your currency if you are not in Canada. It will be sent separately to you by Mr Knight from his lab. Takes a few extra days. Master valuers are considered THE experts on coloured gems, and their appraisals are accepted by insurance companies as genuine retail replacement value. The retail replacement figure is designed for bricks and mortar jewelers with high overheads. I used to supply jewelers, and bought at prices that allowed them to make a profit and yet still I of course made a profit for myself.

All our gemstones are true gems, earth mined, not man made. EXPECT FLAWS! We provide unaltered pictures of the gem for you are very high magnification. Minor inclusions in any gem are not, as some think, a bad thing. They help a gemologist determine the authenticity of a gem. Man made gems are perfect.... but they are not real earth mined gems, and can be made in the millions, and do not increase in value. The difference between an original oil and a print. Supply and demand rules.

Sapphire is the birth stone for those born in September. Corundum, with traces of iron, titanium, chromium, vanadium or magnesium responsible for the color. Sapphires are 9 on the moh's scale, right behind diamond ( moh's10)

Sapphire is said to bring peace and prosperity to those that own it.
Sapphires are not as expensive as the other corundum, Ruby. The most expensive sapphire to my knowledge sold for approx. $17,00,000.00 at auction.
