Listing some of my personal blue sapphire stash, to help pay for setting stones I have sitting around.....
Stunning 2.52 heat only electric blue Sri Lanka sapphire, the stone was hand selected by me specifically because of the vibrant vivid colour. The stone is a great bluff stone because on the hand it faces up like a 3.5+ carat sapphire, it is 8.50 x 7.18 x 4.91. For some unexplainable reason it faces on the hand almost as big as a 4.50+ carat blue sapphire I have.
First three photos are in a light box which amps up the colour of the stone, it is only that saturated in strong shop lighting but I include these photos so it is comparable to photos from vendors that take professional gemstone pics. Photos have not be enhanced in any way.
Photo 4 was taken outside in strong sunlight.
Outside in the shade;
The stone is a electric blue in dark lighting situations to a darker mid cornflower blue in strong lighting situations. It would be classified as a "cornflower" blue stone (it's twin colourwise (see videos) just came back from Lotus Lab and was designated "cornflower blue") but is what I would personally describe at the darker end of cornflower more into peacock blue in low lighting situations but not royal and never too dark in any lighting. This particular stone is pretty close to a trade ideal vivid electric blue up the darker end of what people classify as "cornflower." It is a lovely shade of blue IRL.
It has a white clear band or colour zoning as is typical of unheated sapphires that you can see upside down, that you can see on a tilt angle about 5% of the time.
Mostly face up you don't see it at all, but sometimes it appears like a small clear window in the stone. Set I think it will disappear. As a result what would normally be a $3500+ priced stone because of the colour and origin (Sri Lanka origin) is now $2500USD.
In light box;
Outside in the dappled shade (middle stone);
Inside strong fluorescent lighting;
Price is $2500USD plus $25.00 registered trackable shipping.
If you want full insurance on it, email me for price & details.

I have also reduced the price of a really stunning 2.05 velvety unheated untreated Blue Asscher sapphire, again from my personal stash and it is also a vivid dark electric blue in colour. Both stones are nicer colourwise than most of the sapphires I see listed for sale and have been handpicked by me for colour. This one is more per carat than the other stones listed for sale because it has not been heated or treated in any way and I paid substantially more for it than the other sapphires I have listed for sale. It is also difficult to find sapphires this colour in asscher cuts. The stone is 7.03 x 7.05 x 4.15.

Photos 3 and 4 Are taken outside in the shade in natural lighting situations.
