Description:The Tunduru District of Tanzania has produced some of the most impressive and colorful Sapphire gems extant. I have seen Sapphires of every color of the rainbow from Tunduru, and this stone is a great example of said material. This gem has a really interesting color as it shows a reddish-violet hue face up, but it clearly shows a golden hue when viewed through the pavillion. The stone is very slightly included and has a "Trillion" cut. This stone would make a great addition to any suite of Sapphire gems, especially if you''ve been looking for that perfect color gem to fill a spot in your collection to show the great range of color for Sapphire.
