Hi all, I’m very interested in this sapphire but I’m also a bit concerned about the “hole” (for lack of a better word) in the middle. Even in person, I felt like I was looking right through the middle of the sapphire and seeing the color of whatever was under it. Is this normal? I was told it happens to all gems, but colored gems put a tint on everything, so it gives the allusion of not looking through it. However, I then see videos like this where you can’t see the black felt through the colorless gem at all... Help!
