The untreated umba sapphire from the previous post is finally done.

This is one of the better purple umba sapphires I have seen.  The stone has a nice medium purple color like amethyst.  Not too dark and not too light either.  The needles in the gemstone helps to prove the untreated nature of the gem.  The sapphire weights 1.54 carats and measures 8.5 x 5.5mm.  The price is $400 a carat or $600 plus shipping.  The stone is cut in a rectangular cushion design.  Contact me to reserve the sapphire.  The clarity of the stone is SI and looks much better to the naked eye than these pictures which are taken at 10-30x magnification.
