This 1.51 carat oval-cut sapphire is a product of Chanthaburi, Thailand. The color is a striking teal, a genuine blue-green balance rather than one hue dominating, with fine parallel color bands running through the center of the stone – a natural zoning feature that adds real visual interest and reads almost like brushstrokes within the body of the gem. Clarity is eye clean, with the stone reading crisp and transparent throughout. In hand it's genuinely lively, with strong, even brilliance returning across the oval face. The color owes its full expression to heat treatment, confirmed by a Chanthaburi Gemological Laboratory (GLC) report.
