Just for fun - thoughts on this stone?

Hi everyone!
It's me again, your friendly neighborhood purple sapphire obsessed crazy person!

The hubs got some still pics from a video of a purple sapphire he saw (think he was trying to torture me, lol!) and I had him send them to me so I could post them here for fun.

6.71ct round 11mm Madagascar purple sapphire, no heat, $7800. It's way over my budget, but seemed like an awfully low price for an unheated sapphire of this size so wanted to post these because I'm really curious to see what all of you pros think!
On the next post I have pics with what looks like a chip in the girdle and a weird "crack" inclusion circled.

I love the color, but worry that they may have amped up the color somewhat based on the color of the edges of the tweezers. I certainly hate when vendors do that because you are expecting a bright, saturated jewel tone, and what often shows up is a sickly and somewhat greyer version...

Also, I'd expect it to be very dark IRL.

Agree, LK -- in low light I think it would black out. Looks like a window in the 1st photo too. Somehow in the photo of its side, it looks like the cutting is a tad wonky, maybe to save weight?

Oh wow, I see that now. Sneaky!

The color alone would be enough to make the price drop quite a bit, right, since color is the main factor for colored stones? You guys are great and this is all so interesting! I've learned so much from following this forum (but mostly that I still gotta lotta learning to do! ) Thanks so much for your thoughts!

No problem, I love learning on PS too.

Another thought. It's not possible to tell from the pics but if one or more of those inclusions breach the surface of the stone, especially if it will affect the structural integrity of the stone, the price will be lowered substantially.

The culet on that stone is completely off centre and if you're a symmetry nut as I am, it'd drive you absolutely crazy because it would never look right!

It must be my eyes but I cannot make out anything with regards to the cut. All the pictures are so fuzzy and I'm not even sure of the colour accuracy too.
