Description
Australia has been known for its deposits of sapphires for over 100 years. Most of the Australian sapphires are dark blue although there are also lighter blues, yellows and greens as well as some rare fancy colors. The Anakie gemfields have produced immense quantities of sapphires, and they’re also known for occasionally producing very large sapphires. This is one of those large ones–it came from a piece of rough that was over 50 carats. Unfortunately several cracks meant that I had to cut it into three pieces–but a single large gem would have been too dark anyway.
This is the largest of the gems I faceted from this piece of rough, and while its still a very dark blue, it does show beautiful flashes of deep blue in daylight and fluorescent light. The gem is nearly flawless with the exception of a small feather near one edge that is not easily visible. It weighs 9.36 carats and measures 13.8 x 8.0 x 7.5 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!
