Comment: Same hazy crystal as OBDS118 (same source) but even more difficult to photograph as it is a color changer; a rare type of CC in sapphire from green, moss green at day, to orange-purple at night, alexandrite-type, and mostly mixing all colors at once. As any color changer it needs time to study, but rewards with life-long surprises. Would make an interesting 'pendant object'. I chose this term on purpose because it is such an uncommon gem. IGI certified green-to-purple changer, unheated, eye-clean though hazy under the lens. Definitely an understated gem, not a flashy show-off but with a good sparkle. No window, though it may seem so on images. Special gem for a special person. See more images. Good cutting.
