1.75-Carat Lilac Purple to Pink Color Change Montana Sapphire

Description

This beautiful unheated Montana sapphire is a rare color change gem: it’s a stunning lilac purple under daylight (first photo), while under incandescent light, the color changes to a bright purplish pink (second photo). The gem is 100 percent natural and untreated in any way. It has excellent clarity, making it bright and scintillating in the hand. There may be tiny inclusions that are visible only with a 10x loupe. There is a small patch of natural rutile silk that can flash in certain lights, but it’s not objectionable and is proof positive of its unheated nature.

This sapphire is faceted in our modified version of the classic diamond round brilliant design, optimized for sapphire and cut to hearts-and-arrows precision. The result is a glittering beauty of a gemstone. The gem weighs 1.75 carats and measures 7.1 x 4.7 mm.
