As a goody, you get strong pinkish fluorescence, causing a white-to-faint-lavender glow in sunlight. What a firework of special effects from this gem!

Please note that AGL, diligent as they are, have done a color stability test [usually only interesting for Padparadscha…] on this sapphire, and they found that it technically is one of the rare sapphires with a relaxed vs. active color center. This means: under normal wearing conditions (sometimes exposed to natural daylight) this sapphire will always be “near colorless”. If it is not exposed to any natural light over an extended period of time, however, the color may shift to “pale yellow-orange” and stay that color, until the stone is exposed to UV light again (then it will become near colorless again). A fascinating effect, and I think quite collectible with the neat AGL documentation on this rare gemological observation
Please let me know if you wish to hear a full explanation of the relaxed/active color center phenomenon. The important thing is, however: this sapphire is unheated/untreated, as confirmed by AGL, and it will appear near colorless most of the time.
