A bright, juicy green sapphire in a round cut, a shape that remains uncommon in colored sapphire. In person the stone is vivid and sparkling: the round faceting spreads light evenly across the face, so fresh mint-green flashes scatter from every side as it moves, and the color stays bright with no pale or empty center. A single small dark crystal sits within the stone, a natural inclusion that gives it a mark of authenticity without dulling its brightness or play. IGI has examined the stone and reports indications of heating, a traditional and stable treatment in sapphire; the color is permanent.
