Comments:
This grape-jelly sapphire from Umba, Tanzania looks larger than the weight would suggest, for one. But it also has a medium bright color, very sparse inclusions, and GREAT, geometric, brilliant performance.
This stone is dying to be in a ring, maybe with a flank of diamonds, or some other fancy accent gem. It wouldn look pretty killer paired up with some tsavorite, actually.
Good proportions for a stock setting too.
This one's really got a lot going for it!
