This sapphire is interesting to say the least, there are some inclusions visible without magnification. What looks like dust under the table are actually rutile or ilmenite silk inclusions. It has mixed tonal zone, it has a medium dark - dark tone in the center, and a medium - medium dark tone around the edges of the gem. Indoors under my LED lights, I can see both blue in the center of the gem, and green around the edges. In daylight it is dominantly blue with a slight hint of green around the edges. In low light I can clearly see the color and facets around the edge with it being tapered to a deep/dark tone in the center of the gem. In most passive indoor lighting it is a darker toned sapphire that opens up to a brilliant blue/green in direct light or daylight.
