ABOUT THE STONE
Stone size(mm): 10 mm To 12 mm. Weight: 90 Carat Approx
Color: royal blue
This gorgeous large uncut sapphire is 100% natural and not synthetic.
However it has been glass filled/ stabilized. It means it has undergone heat treatment.
These Sapphires have been glass filled and heated to a very high temperature, this changes their appearance and improves their color, there looks like the surface has a coating on it, there is nothing on the stone, this is just the result of the heating and filling process.

I have tried to get a better picture of this gem to do it justice, pictures are taken in natural light, direct sunlight, the stones may appear brighter-lighter in the sunlight, no artificial light is used, the last pictures shows what the stone looks like when pictures are taken in direct sunlight. They show what is inside these beautiful Sapphire gemstones.
The stone has been hand polished to reveal another feature – the CHATOYANCY
Chatoyancy, known as the cat’s eye effect, is a special optical effect referring to a bright band on the surface of gemstones caused by the reflection of light. Its characteristics depend on the type, size and concentration of the inclusions. Chatoyancy is often observed in gemstones such as chrysoberyl, tourmaline and moonstone; however, it is rarely observed in sapphires. However, some of the stones, especially those originating from China, show this effect.
So if you buy this ring you will admire this special stone in different light conditions. It will never bore you.
This large raw blue sapphire ring would make a perfect cocktail ring. As you see it is quite high and protruding, so it won’t probably fit in gloves.
