Description

I bought this lovely 3.03 ct Violet Star Sapphire from The Gem Trader for $606 (not including shipping/insurance), and am offering it now (price drop!) for $606 including shipping and insurance by registered USPS mail (in the contiguous US). I originally bought it in June 2012.

I post on PS under the name Pregcurious.

I am a private seller, and consider all sales to be final.

There are few gem materials capable of such intriguing beauty as star corundum in its finest grades. And while it is true that blue star sapphire and star ruby do get the most attention, we love to find those in the somewhat more unusual ‘fancy’ sapphire category. It is the extremely pleasant pastel bluish-violet color of this gem that first catches the attention, but then the very fine star makes its appearance. The star floats effortlessly across the entire surface of the gem (see the multiple photos at various angles) and requires only a bit of direct lighting to produce. Add to this that lovely, unusual color and you have a gorgeous stone. Excellent size and a great polish - an enchanting gem.
