1.1ct pinkish purple sapphire(unheated)
Sale!
Lovely pale pinkish purple unheated sapphire from the Umba valley in Tanzania with minimal inclusions and excellent lustre, the crystal growth lines are actually visible in the pictures of the back of the gem. Most sapphires from this valley are under 0.50ct and nearly all require heating to bring out their colour and improve clarity. This gem is the exception to the rule, over one carat and remaining completely natural makes it a very rare gem. It measures 7.0mm X 5.4mm X 3.4mm.
