Shown above is a medium dark, purplish sapphire from Ceylon. Although this is a native cut stone, the faceting is quite good. The proprotions, facet shape, meetpoints and polish, as well as the clarity, are all good. This beautiful gemstone would look great in a pendant, pin, or ring.

Note: Sapphire is commonly heat treated to improve both clarity and color. It should be assumed that the above gemstone has been so treated.
