Comment: This is the dripping-with-warmth-cornflower blue (compare 3.41) that has made sapphires so dominant amongst blue gems, or has made blue so dominant a colour amongst sapphires depending on where you stand. Once seen, never forgotten. No black-outs, never pale, no window, micro-sandy Madam-inclusions only visible under the lens (see 48fold image), certified unheated, right in the tone with MD75. Rock-solid local hand-cut, its depth giving the colour extra strength. Buys us all 1000sqm of rainforest protection for our grandkids and will uphold its value for the eternity that the rainforest will stand and then some extra, especially with negative interest-rates running wild. 4k/ct today's minimum price for top untreated sapphire (thanks to Madagascar) and you can get another 15% off with wire and fan discount.
