Pepto bismol sapphire inclusions

[AnastasiaBeaverhausen]

Oh gosh - the other one landed on my doorstep this AM - huge surprise! Last status update was that it was still stuck in Memphis!

It is absolutely beautiful - where the bigger pink stone is whimsical and magical, this one is ethereal and ultra feminine - it has a gorgeous, delicate sparkle, and a soft lilac/baby pink color. It is soft and delicate. The window is obvious, but the color is just gorgeous, so I don't care.

Oooooh I love them both!!!!

It'll be a while before I can afford to set either - if you have read my other threads we've had a recent pet emergency that set us back a pretty penny. BUT - I can enjoy and admire my beautiful new stones for months while I wait!

Here are some pictures!!!!

So glad you decided to buy both. They look amazing and completely unique from one another. Congrats on your two new shinies!

@Cerulean, did you get any lab reports for either of these stones? I’m considering a silky blue sapphire right now, same price range as your sapphire, and wonder if I should ask for a cert or wait for it to arrive and send it to my local lab. The milkiness itself is a sign that it’s unheated right?

Yes, milky/silky type inclusions suggest natural stones, so I wouldn't worry too much about stones like this being unnatural

I didn’t bother getting reports and probably won’t - I might be more risk tolerant than other PSers...

both stones were well under $1k, and appeared visibly natural as @lovedogs mentioned - the pinker one had visible carbon inclusions and color zoning on top of milkiness

Super excited to see your sapphire! Please share with us!

I did it, I bought it! The seller is including a CGL report for free. The price is so good for these silky stones compared to trade ideal, I couldn't resist. Fingers crossed that I'll love it and I'll start my own thread so I won't hijack yours.

So excited to see it! And if you are willing to share vendor deets...

I definitely will once I receive it. This vendor has not been mentioned here before. So to be safe, I will make sure everything works out first!

Congrats on your new purchase! Hope it ships quickly and turns out to be even better than in pics.
