An unheated sapphire in an unusual olive green, warmed by a soft brownish undertone. In person the color is subtle and sophisticated: an earthy, muted green fills the pear, while crisp flashes of lighter green and gold break across the crown as it moves, giving the stone quiet depth rather than loud brilliance. It is a color for those who look for something less expected, closer to the tones of natural landscape than to a bright jewel green. The cut is well balanced, with no washed-out center, and the stone is eye clean. IGI has examined it and found no indications of heating; this complex, earthy color is entirely natural.
