Unheated lavender sapphire witch has a fine soft and bit a mysterious appearance. Thats because the sapphire is equally filled with numerous fingerprints witch breaks the light and soften the appearance. More often common in spinel. The sapphire is perfectly centered and has an almost meet point cut. No nicks or cracks on the surface, the only small issue is a bigger fingerprint inclusion witch is slightly to see under the table. But overall appearance is lovely and unique in his way. Under the microscope just a dream! A whole universe is to discover in that fantastic inclusion world...IRL also never boring.

Relisting and price reduction for that very rare eyeclean Vietnamese ruby. Top of the line in terms of saturation and flurescence in combination with that Vietnam typical open red color. Pure open red in yellow light and a very attractive red with a hint raspberry red in daylight. Camera tend as usual in red to much to the pink side. As GRS also mention in the cert its red bodycolor and not that so often seen pinkish red. Its a very open and wilde red color! Exactly for what the top Vietnamese rubies are so famouse for by connoisseurs. Unfortunately Vietnam never produced clean stones in bigger sizes and quantities, so it never reached that prominence as Burma or Mosambique. The ruby is nicly cut and has no window. On the pavillion are two small naturals to hold the ruby as big as possible. They are not to see from the top and not desturb the beauty in any way.
