Kashmir Blue Sapphire 0.57 CT Irregular Oval Cut | Kashmir, India
This 0.57 carat sapphire shows an even royal to cornflower blue. The oval cut is balanced with a bright table and clean facet junctions that return steady reflections. Transparency is good with fine silk and tiny internal bands that sit discreetly beneath the facets. Luster is vitreous and the color holds consistently across the stone in varied lighting.
It originates in the Kashmir Padar deposits where mining conditions and limited veins kept output modest from the start. The sapphires are noted for low iron content and finely dispersed rutile that soften and enrich the blue. Because the workings were active for a short period and later activity has been minimal, new material is scarce. Well cut pieces near this size that display the recognized Kashmir color and texture are uncommon and are regarded as classic examples from a legendary source.
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.
