Comment: Big unheated blue from a rare, now depleted, mine. We snatched this stone (in a parcel of 4 top blue sapphires) from a stock of an old Thai trader. Bargain for this ever rarer top blue with two flaws that escape the eye without lens: 1. Color zoning as visible on the image but hardly to the eye. 2. Shallow but keeping full color in the center (payoff here is the big face of a 3 carat stone). Big enough for a pendant.
