Unheated 1.69-ct purple sapphire

[Redwoods-hiker-girl]

Hello, and happy 2023, PS! I bought this beautiful 1.69-carat unheated purple sapphire from Tandi (DesertRose on IG) about a year ago. It's a lovely shade of purple that doesn't fade out or go dark, and it's mesmerizing both indoors and out. It was mined in Nivithigala, Sri Lanka, and cut into an elongated cushion that measures 8 mm x 5.6 mm. More photos are available, and I'd be happy to send videos of the stone in various types of lighting.

Asking $750 plus $15 shipping (tracking and insurance included). Please feel free to reach out with questions -- it's hard to describe exactly how lovely this sapphire is.

My LT listing is here, and there are many more photos here.

Update: I'm sending this to GIA for certification tomorrow. Happy travels, little one.

Oh, before I forget: I came across the original listing on DesertRose's IG:

(She hasn't yet marked it as sold! I'll send her a heads-up.)

@Redwoods-hiker-girl is it back from gia?

 

[Redwoods-hiker-girl]

@RRfromR Ha! I put off sending it and then didn’t think of it again until just now.

It’s still packaged up with five others, ready to go to Carlsbad. I probably need to fill out a new form at this point.
