Kashmir Blue Sapphire 0.97 CT | Kashmir, India
A saturated royal to cornflower blue fills this 0.97 carat sapphire. The oval cut is well proportioned with a bright open table and clean facet junctions that return steady light. Color is even in daylight and indoor light. Fine silk and delicate internal bands are visible under magnification and give a gentle texture without reducing transparency. Luster is vitreous and the face reads deep and clear.
This sapphire is from Kashmir in India, the high mountain deposits of the Padar region discovered in the late nineteenth century. Mining there was brief and intermittent due to altitude, seasonal weather and limited reserves. Production has remained very small which keeps supply extremely scarce. The local geology produces sapphires with low iron and fine rutile silk that create the classic saturated yet soft blue associated with Kashmir. Stones near one carat with vivid color from this origin are among the rarest and most sought after corundum.
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.
