Sensational 10.25ct HEATED ONLY blue black Sapphire!

It is time to add value to your jewelry or gem collection. This elegant sapphire exhibits a silky smooth resting black body color with touches of rich navy blue, but hidden under its lavash coloration are streaks of brilliant silver caused by natural rutile needles in the sapphire known as "silk", which is also responsible for the asterism, or star pattern, in star sapphires. The juxtoposition of these competing color palettes is just amazing, trapped in the delicate dance of dark verses light. It has beautifully opaque clarity that enhances this display, and it is wrapped in a glistening superior luster that shines off of its wide cut facets. Measuring a whopping 14.5mm x 8.7mm x 6.9mm with a Mohs hardness rating of 9 out of 10, this substantial sapphire is ready for daily wear now and for generations to come. Sourced from Africa. Heated only!!!
