1.38 ct. (6.4 mm) Winza Sapphire Unheated/Untreated

Part sapphire, part ruby, which sometimes mix to make a vivid purple. These stones from the famous Winza location in Tanzania are interesting as they have both blue and red in them. Most of the time you can see the different colors though and it is a really beautiful effect.

This round design is similar to a Jua round, but with 8 less facets. This cut is called the Venetian Round (by Gene).

Beautifully cut by Gene Flanigan of Precision Gem.

NO heat or any other treatments.

Color: 9/10

I literally just bought this stone from another LT member but it didn't work in the setting I had in mind. It is a real stunner of a stone! This material is impossible to find. And the cut, well, you know Gene.
