This listing is for the depicted loose gemstone that I personally precision faceted on my custom-made lapidary equipment
• 0.95 carats
• 5.9mm from flat to flat, 6.3mm from corner to corner, and 3.5mm in depth
• Faceted in my own Galaxy square octagon design
• Unheated/untreated
• Naturally occurring corundum (sapphire)
• Eye clean
Detailed Gem Description:
A natural and untreated corundum (sapphire) with a dominant bluish Green hue, a medium dark to dark tone, and moderately strong to strong saturation. This is a sultry green/blue sapphire and will have an overall darker tone in passive or indirect light, it does open up to a brilliant blue/green gem in daylight or with a direct light source.
See the last graphic for reference on how I graded these. To maintain originality, I made the reference graphics with gems of my own design but it is based on GIA's color description system.
Photos were taken in daylight with a blue sky overhead and under a microscope. The first four videos were taken in daylight with the sun overhead, a blue sky, and scattered clouds. The last few scenes in the fourth video are inside in passive lighting and under my overhead LED lights. The outdoor scenes in the fifth video were taken on an overcast day. Please review all the videos thoroughly.
Gemstone Rough Country of Origin: Kenya
Cutter: Sennin
