Comments:
This marquis shaped Australian sapphire is just awesome. When you see a deep, inky blue sapphire, you immediately assume it's super dark, and you never, or hardly ever, get any scintillation or brilliance or color out of it... But this one defies the odds. I can't say it's an open color gem, because it IS dark, but even in low-light situations, this gem shows a neat bursting pattern of vivid blues on a black background. The pattern moves well, and is really vivid, and bright. It can't be missed, and you don't even need special or ideal lighting for it to function.
