Sapphire

Item 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 brilliant pink hue in sunlight (with a slight reddish-orange overtone), but shows more of a lilac pink color in halogen lighting, and more of a true pink color in incandescent lighting. The gem is nearly eye clean and has a "Round Brilliant" 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. A really cool color for Sapphire from this great gem producing district in Tanzania.
