I'm planning on listing a handful of pieces, both jewelry and unset/loose gems. I've been holding onto some gorgeous gems for awhile, but I've realized that I just may not ever set some of them (or I have other gems that are very similar in color!)

This one is a beauty. Described as Violet color by the seller (Dana), and it often shows blue sparkles shooting around in there. Sometimes it appears to have a very slight pinkish hue. It was purchased by me from Dana at Mastercut in the spring of last year. I paid @$1250 for it, which is rather expensive, but it's beautiful. It is heat only and comes with an AGL brief. The cut is good for being non-precision (it was not actually cut by Dana). No window; just a heavier bottom, typical of non precision cut sapphires. Never set. Will come with its brief/paperwork from Dana. I'm discounting it by quite a lot from what I paid, so hoping not to go any lower on it, and am now asking $500 firm. (I've seen similar gems from reputable PS approved vendors listed in the 2k range. Prices on sapphires just keep going up).

-dimensions are 7.10 x 5.68 x 5.19 mm
-From Sri Lanka
-heat only, AGL brief included
-oval mixed cut; non-precision, but well cut and very sparkly with no window
-eye clean BUT it does have what look to me to be one or maybe two small "natural" type inclusions; nothing that should cause issues with setting and nothing you can see when viewing from above, you would need to examine the stone closely from upside down or the side to see them. I don't recall Dana even mentioning them to be honest.
-violet color which can lighten a bit and darken a bit depending on lighting, but I never see it actually black out
-pics taken in varying sunlight from dim to "hard", more pics/info available on request

I ship within the US only (due to insurance issues with int'l shipping). PayPal only please. I'm katharath on PS, and I've had many successful transactions here, selling from my personal collection as my preferences change. Please ask all questions before buying - as I'm not a trade person, and I almost always discount my pre loved items rather a lot, the understanding is that sales will be final. I am happy to provide any further info that I can, upon request.
