A vivid teal sapphire in a well-balanced pear shape, where juicy green and bright blue meet in equal measure. In person the stone is lively and intense: saturated blue and green flashes chase each other across the face as it moves, while the tapering outline gathers the color toward its point and gives the stone an elegant, flowing silhouette. The cut keeps it bright and full, with no pale or empty center. It is eye clean, letting the teal read rich and uninterrupted. IGI has examined the stone and reports indications of heating, a traditional and stable treatment in sapphire; the color is permanent.
