THIS IS A GENUINE EARTH MINED Sapphire. Expect flaws minor and inclusions. I do not sell lab produced .Flawless genuine sapphires expensive. Why Settle for Imitations? This gem is approx.2.25cwt and shows Evidence of heating. 95% of all sapphires are heated to improve the clarity and it is totally accepted in the trade. Unheated are more expensive. Please read the IMPORTANT TERMS AND INFORMATION page at least once as it applies to all listings. ANY questions, please ask.

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.
Some people will never understand why people buy an original work of art when they can buy a poster for next to nothing.
Earth mined gems are for those that do. Invest in quality.

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.
The most expensive sapphire to my knowledge ( The Blue Belle) sold for approx. $17,00,000.00 at auction in 2014. Only in fairly modern times, after a massive advertising campaign, have diamonds become the usual stone for engagements. Before that sapphires ruled. Indeed, Prince William gave Kate Middleton a magnificent sapphire.
