Kashmir Blue Sapphire 0.57 CT Irregular Oval Cut | Kashmir, India
A saturated royal to cornflower blue fills this 0.57 carat sapphire. The outline is a slightly irregular oval that faces bright with a clear open table and well aligned facets. Color is even in daylight and indoor light and fine silk is visible under magnification, giving a soft internal texture without diminishing transparency. Luster is vitreous and the stone shows a calm, stable tone across the face.
The gem comes from the Padar region of Kashmir in India, a high mountain locality discovered in the late nineteenth century. Mining there was brief and sporadic due to altitude, harsh weather and limited reserves, so production has always been extremely small. Local geology yields corundum with low iron and delicate rutile silk, a combination that produces the classic saturated yet gentle blue associated with Kashmir. Stones around half a carat with attractive color and readable silk are rare and remain among the most sought after sapphires.
Fully certified for authenticity and quality, comes with a sensory experience that you won't forget. Don't miss your chance to own this stunning piece of earth wonder.
