Sapphire is one of the most popular and prized gems on earth. It has been valued by cultures throughout history. Sapphire is the rich, velvety blue form of the mineral corundum, of which ruby is a member as well. It has a hardness of 9, making it the hardest colored stone, second only to diamond. It is very well suited to jewelry or collection.
This particular stone is lab created. One important thing to realize about lab created sapphire is that it isn't just a blue stone made to imitate sapphire--physically and chemically this *is* a sapphire; it was simply formed in made made conditions in a lab, rather than dug from the earth. Stones like this give everyone the opportunity to own a stone whose size and quality would otherwise be limited only to kings, or in our modern days, princes and princesses, heh. If you want your own "William and Kate" sapphire ring, this would make a great stone for it!
This stone weighs in at just a hair over a carat at 1.04ct exactly and measures 6.1mm across and 3.9mm deep. It's a nice deep denim blue and is internally flawless as well.
