Beautiful 2.05 carat untreated unheated velvet Blue Sapphire in a really rare Asscher cut. The stone is 7.03 x 7.05 x 4.15.
First two photos are in a light box which amps up the colour the stone is only that saturated in strong shop lighting but I include these photos so it is comparable to photos from vendors that take professional gemstone pics.
Photo number 3 was taken indoors in low lighting to show the sapphire in poor lighting and number 4 and 5 were taken outside in the shade in natural lighting situations, so you can see it is a mid colour outside in strong Aussie sunlight.
The stone is a darker blue in dark lighting situations to an electric blue in strong indoor lighting situations, to a vivid mid electric blue in full sunlight. It would be classified as a "cornflower" blue stone but is what I would describe at the darker end of cornflower closer to what people think of as peacock but not as dark as royal so always a nice vivid shade of blue.

Was $3000USD, reduced to $2400USD, which is way less than I paid for this untreated sapphire. Asschers in blue sapphires are really difficult shapes to find, I'd set this in a halo or a halo with an airline gap and you would have a magnificent ring!!!
This stone cost me more per carat than the others I had listed for sale because it is unheated and untreated.
Registered trackable shipping is $25.00USD. Shipping with full insurance is around $70.00USD.
