Purple Sapphire - am I crazy? Opinions Welcome!

[minousbijoux]

So I'm not great with links but I found this at Odyssey:

(If I'm doing something wrong with the link, will someone teach me how?)

Anyway, is it asymmetrical, or is that a trick of the camera? Also, how do you think the color might be IRL?

I've been wanting a nice but not expensive purple sapphire for a while...

Thanks to all opinions and recommendations!

Which one are you looking at specifically.

These are the two of the 15 I'd be interested in if that helps...

Does that work?

The stone will prolly look black with little purple flashes in very bright night.

Looks like a black square.

Thank you, that was what I was afraid of. In general, do you find Odyssey and Gemburi to be darker IRL?

No, I find their photos for the most part to be very accurate, and based on that, it looks like a black square.

TL do you find the photos or videos of Tan's stones more accurate?

Videos.

Yes, I agree that it will be very dark IRL. I think you can get a nicer color at the price

The portion where there is flashes of colour is nice but overall, it is definitely going to end up as a black square. I also find Tan’s video to be more accurate than the picture and if you watch it turning around, it’s just so disappointing.

i would expect a lot of black. a stone of 1 carat w/o extinction [black] would be thousands. you might find a better stone with more purple flashes but not w/o black for that price.
