This 1.69 carat oval-cut sapphire is a product of Chanthaburi, Thailand. The color is a deep, pleasant teal, dark and rich with good even saturation across the face. Clarity is eye clean, with the stone reading crisp and transparent with essentially no visible inclusions. In hand it's genuinely lively, with strong brilliance returning across the oval. The color owes its full expression to heat treatment.
