***ADDITIONAL INFO***

Quite an intense orangish pink sapphire. The colors are well blended so instead of being called a color zoned pink sapphire, it qualifies as a padparadscha. The orange is a bit more visible/prominent than the photos would suggest.

The stone is eye clean and reasonably well cut considering its rarity.

Because of its Tanzanian origin - rather than the more traditional Sri Lankan one for pads - the stone is a good deal more saturated than most pads that make it to the market. Like most Tanzanian stones, it's rich in chromium which results in more vivid, warmer colors than typically seen in this variety.

***COLORS AND ACCURACY***

All of our images are extensively, carefully and thoroughly edited and color-matched to reflect the stones in normal diffused daylight viewing conditions by editing with the stone and the monitor side by side in daylight. Consequently, the colors in the photos are as close as they get to reality when viewed on a normal monitor with a generic RGB display calibration profile - this includes most mobile devices but if in doubt, please always check on a desktop/laptop.

If you'd like more photos or videos of anything, please by all means just e-mail anytime.

***SHIPPING***

Tracked and insured shipping is included in the price.

***PAYMENT***

PayPal preferred under $1,000. Over $1,000 a direct bank TT is preferable but PayPal is still an option if their fees are covered.

***RETURNS***

Returns are totally okay but please note that they come minus the insured shipping costs paid to send you the stones. A government-issued invoice signed and stamped by Customs, government valuer-gemmologists and postal agents for stones + shipping comes within every parcel with the exact breakdown of shipping and insurance costs paid on export. Most of the time those amount to $55-60 for sub $1k value stones.
