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 $ 945 Canadian. Appraisal was done before it was set in this silver setting with clear topaz accents. Appraisal unsigned and unsealed. included at no charge. 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.
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
Even smaller pictures, while more accurately showing how the gem looks to the naked eye, still show the gem MUCH larger than it is of course.... if you are not sure how big this is , make certain you check on a measure marked in millimeters... the standard for measuring gems.)
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.
