Comments:
I'm loving the yellow sapphires I have been able to stock recently! They're so cheery, and bright. They always are showing off in one way or another - either their color, or their brightness are usually popping off, and a lot of the time, both at once.
This long-ish oval has a dash of blue color in it, which actually doesn't alter the yellow color much. It also, at one very specific angle, has a plane of schillery rutile, in a geometric kind of grid pattern. It is beautiful, and a reminder of how amazing nature can really be at the fine details. It is not visible 99% of the time, so it doesn't really interrupt the gem performance, but you can find it to take a look if you move the gem around long enough. Hidden bonus in this one.
