Sapphire with colour zone

[redhairsasori]

Hi all,
1) As u can see there is two line colour zone in the face of the sapphire, should I buy this? It is 2 caret size and it is unheated.
2) Need your advise on the colour too.

- picture 1 (view from 10cm)
- picture 2 (view from 10x zoom)

It's not only zoned/streaked but also has a large and noticeable window. I definitely wouldn't buy.

Looks like it has a window (a transparent part of the gem you can see through due to the way it’s cut) to me. Windows bother some people and don’t bother others. I wouldn’t buy it as windows drive me nuts, but only you can decide if it bothers you.

I would pass on this one. Window and color zoning

I’m an outlier.
the color (that’s there) would have to be a screamer, and the price would have to be pretty low, and the face up size respectable
For me to pull the trigger and enjoy something like this. But I could enjoy it if so.

by the looks of the photos, the color that is there - isn’t what I’d sacrifice that central color banding /window for.

Will the zoning get on your nerves or do you like that it has this feature? Also how do you feel about the window? I think those are the two issues you need to decide on.
