0.80-Carat Purple Montana Sapphire (Heated)

Description

This heated Montana sapphire is lovely bright purple, with a spot of pink at the center that is less visible in person than the photo would imply. The color was developed by heating the sapphire in Montana, but no other treatments were used. The treatment is permanent and stable and not only develops the color, but also improves the clarity. It has very small inclusions that are quite difficult to see with the unaided eye from a normal viewing distance. The inclusions have been factored into the price, making this a great value for the size and color.

This sapphire is faceted in our “Serendipity” brilliant oval design and cut to high precision; the result is a glittering beauty of a gemstone. The gem weighs 0.80 carats and measures 6.3 x 5.1 x 3.5 mm.
