So I haven't paid a visit to ebay for quite some time, so I paid a visit to see what's offered for sale these days. I found this sapphire on Easternnee and was about to add it to the SGBTS thread when I looked at the AIGS brief/card. Now how does that happen? A blue ruby, huh? If I didn't know that Easternnee is reputable, I would think that someone was forging the AIGS report. But I doubt that -so what is it - their honest oversight? Pretty sloppy if it is.

For those that may be interested in the stone based on color, know that their stones are typically rudimentarily cut (that is, not precision cut) and they tend to amp up the saturation in their photos. The stones I've bought from them I've kept, so they were not wildly inaccurate, but just know that the sapphire might be a good deal, but it likely will be less intensely blue.
