Description

This is a really cool sapphire and I've never seen one quite like it, especially given its Montana origins. It's got clear and blue zones that mix with Dana Reynolds' master cutting in a "modified round" to become this powder blue or light sky blue color. In some lights you can see the zoning very well but in my opinion the cutting makes it seem to swirl beautifully rather than be a distraction. It's also an incredibly brilliant gem. The first pic is the vendor picture. The third picture shows that it just becomes this super-brilliant almost-white gem in direct sunlight (and I think you can see the zoning a bit better in that pic). For someone who's looking for a >1ct light blue sapphire, precision cut, Montana origin, and thinks the zoning is beautiful (it is), this is an awesome deal. (I will note that it does face up slightly on the small size due to the design Dana used. But man that cutting.) Never set. I'm giving this up only because I have too many sapphires and I'm just not going to get around to setting it.
