Good day all,
I just bought a new yellow sapphire, so now I have to say goodbye to an old beloved friend. He's a 7.97ct. oval danburite, which was masterfully fashioned into a fancy concave or "quantum" cut by world-renowned gem artist Richard Homer of Ohio. The color is the purest, most saturated, canary yellow I have ever seen. The vibrancy shown in my photo is 100% accurate and unenhanced. And it's a super clean crystal for this material. The stone measures approximately 17.05 x 11.01 x 7.67 mm. It's completely untreated, and accompanied by an AGL Prestige Report (#1123775). The origin is Tanzania, but the stone was named after the town where it was first discovered - Danbury, CT. Danburite has excellent hardness (7.5 Mohs) and poor cleavage, so lapidaries are free to have fun with fantasy cutting without having to worry about damage during the process.
This is a one-of-a-kind piece. I paid $3,000 for the stone... I'm discounting it to $2,000, hoping for a quick sale to a loving home.
Thanks for looking,
Autumn
