Stunning 2.30 carats mid blue heat only round sapphire. I literally looked at thousands of sapphires before I purchased this one and I am super fussy when it comes to coloured stones as they were either too dark or too pale, this one is mid coloured - not as dark as Royal blue and therefore NEVER blacks out in any lighting but it's still a nice rich blue (and never pale) in colour inside and under certain lighting it goes a more mid blue like that much sort after top vivid cornflower blue.
All sapphires coloured change in various lighting situations I have taken photos to show it as dark as it gets and also when it goes that lighter colour. Either way it's always pretty and never too dark or too light. It's a fraction darker than the much sort after vivid dark top cornflower blue. Photos 1, 2 and 3 are how it looks most of the time, photo 4 shows it when it goes a more cornflower colour and photo 5 shows it at is worst that is about as dark as it ever gets but most of the time it is like the rest of the other 4 photos.
The stone is 2.30 carats heat only. 7.20 (7.18)mms across and 5.37 deep. The stone has a slight window in the centre and things like that usually bug me but it's small enough that I don't think it was worth tweaking and the colour is nice enough I just left it alone.

Asking $1500.00 ono, which is a great price for a sapphire this colour over 2 carats.
