Comment: Clean and sparkly sky-blue sapphire in precision cut. Lively gem with no sleepy black-outs, or bleeding in low light. No window, one inclusion under the lens, and no heat-treatment. Good ring-size. Always-blue, never dark. Luster runs up-and-down the gem in one smooth motion. Perfect gem for those who fear too-low tones in Kashmir blue, or too-warm hues in cornflower. No purple, little violet. Good size in gent's rings up to US 8/9; not too clunky for lady's rings over US size 5.
