Comment: Deep ocean colored sapphire in emerald cut. Mostly dark blue, at times green-blue, rare blueish green, but always ten miles of stormy ocean deep. This impregnable depth rises from a silky crystal in combination with the MD85 tone. As dark as it gets before the wildest storm, yet never black and in the right light setting (not quantity but rather with the right angle as in the handshots, indoors, low light) gleaming with the promise of sunshine after the rain. The white sparks on top of the main image are reflections from a pair of a brown(!) vertical inclusions catching light from the side. One needs a loop and patience to find these collections of thinner-than-hair needles IRL and from the front, even if our images show them with a shiny glow. Obviously, a sapphire for the mystic, the searcher in the depth. Unheated, no visible inclusions, no window, qualifying for our "3*Nos of Excellence". WLT and NhRP support are included in our prices, as always, plus shipping, lab report, grading papers and all you need to explore the gem in all its details. Let us develop a setting in tune with the dark character, perhaps set in steel or etched gold combined with leather?
