Description
The color of this sapphire is hard to describe properly as it shifts with the lighting. In daylight its a dark red with hints of orange and pink, while under incandescent light it shifts to a dark hot pink to magenta color. Its likely some labs would call this a ruby based on the depth and intensity of the color. The gem is from the Umba River Valley in Tanzania and it completely untreated and natural. Like most of the sapphire from the Umba Valley, it has some very fine inclusions and they give this gem a slightly “sleepy” appearance in some lighting. I faceted this in a custom oval shape; the gem weighs 1.81 carats and measures 7.93 x 6.73 x 4.62 mm.

Video Request
Although we do our best to take the highest quality images, sometimes it can be difficult to envision how it will look on your hand. We can take a video of up to four gems side by on the hand to help you compare them and see how they perform in daylight. Please provide the following information, and include the SKU numbers or links to the stones you would like to see a video of.
Please note that we don’t do 360-degree videos as colored gems are optimized to be viewed face up, and because the current technology is such that none of the 360-degree systems we have tested provides the accurate color. Our desire is to present the most honest and accurate color possible!
