Just arrived today, a little "galaxy" winza sapphire with interesting color zoning. Such a unique and mysterious little guy! :kiss2:

Dimensions are 1.34ct and 6.8×6.8×4.3

I LOVE these sapphires. Congrats on snapping it up. They are often called sapphire and ruby in one.
However, I have only seen one example from someone's collection that had more red zoning and GIA called it red and dark blue. I think the blues+pinks like yours are more attractive.

Thank you! Mine actually has a mild red fluorescence too under UV light... These are interesting little stones:)
 
Oh interesting, it looks like a star nebula in space. Very pretty and unique. Enjoy!

Oh that’s interesting because I just purchased a similar one but it hasn’t arrived yet. Does yours sparkle or is it more glowy? So cool looking!1385F317-6B20-4812-BC6E-12A1AD130F6B.jpeg

Where did you find it, pretty please?

Ha. On Etsy actually. I eyed it for a while and then it actually appeared to have sold and then when it was for sale again I made an offer because I (of course) felt it was meant to be.

I will share the vendor once it arrives. I’m crossing my fingers it’s as nice as the photos.
 
It’s gorgeous! What setting are you thinking?

I can't say it's sparkly, maybe a little more towards glowy..? I don't know, it's hard to describe, the color is what stands out to me more. The blue part is very dark, but does open up slightly more in better lighting. Very interesting overall:)

Unfortunately no I haven't:confused2: Have been dealing with a lot lately, but I promise to update when it eventually gets set!

I hope everything is OK, and I look forward to this project!
