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 $670 Canadian . A signed ,sealed copy of his appraisal of the sapphire, made out in your name can be had for an additional $20 charge. 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.
NOTE: Supply and demand rules in true gem buying as in every other human investment. Each earth mined gem is a unique work of art, unlike the lab produced stones that can be produced in unlimited quantities.

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.

Sapphires wholesale to the trade today for approx. $50 for a 1 cwt stone of very low grade quality to approx. $3,000 for a one carat example of extra fine quality. ($7,000 for an unheated) . The price goes up to well over $20,000 or more per cwt. for extra fine larger examples. ($40,000 for unheated) The retail price will be several times that, depending on the retailers markup.
