No. 996: Standard Brilliant Cut, 0.77 cts, SI1, 5.4 x 3.6 mm, $61.60,
faceted by Robert Drummond Sold
Shown above is an attractive light-blue sapphire from a famous US gemstone locality.
There are some fine needle-like rutile inclusions in this stone, but the clarity
is still good. The stone is very well cut and displays fine light return and scintillation.
It would look great in a small pendant, pin, or ring.
This sapphire was faceted from gem rough that had been heat treated to improve the color.
