Elegant 8.31ct midnight black Sapphire -Heated only!!!

You don’t want to miss this sapphire! The color of this piece has a silky black color that is so dark it glistens. It has a classic pear cut with wide faceting, and a superior luster that shimmers off of each of those facets. But the interesting part of this gem is that is has swirling opaqueness. Yes, you heard that right. On top of strong color saturation that makes the entire gem look opaque, when held to the light you can see swirling translucency and opaqueness. And the size! Measuring a whopping 11.5mm x 10.8mm x 7.6mm, this sapphire has fantastic size, and a Mohs hardness rating of 9 out of 10, making it a great piece for setting. Sourced from Mozambique. Heated only!
