27.64ct Carved Sapphire
27.64ct Carved Sapphires Buddah with Naga, multiheaded snake.  Great for a curio cabinet, made into to a pendant or placed into a gold holder and worn around one's neck in the Buddist tradition.   African Sapphire whose blue color is apparent with a light source behind it.  (gmtown-06-01)  $373  SOLD!



2.35ct Dark Blue Australian Sapphire faceted by our Master Facetor.   Fairly typical for Aussie Sapphire, but it is a well faceted, over 2 carat Blue Sapphire and priced to move at only $450/ct!  That's $1,058 for the gem.....(ogm-07-01b3)

2.14ct Star Corundum, purchased as a Star Ruby and would be considered a Ruby in Europe as well as other places in the world.  In the Gemstone Profile of Modern Jewelers Magazine, the photographed Star Ruby has a similar color as the one above.  We are calling it Star Corundum and the new owner can decide whether they want to call it Star Ruby or Star Sapphire.  Whatever one calls it, the star is really strong,  has a good 6-ray star and is a fine example of a natural star.  (minco-08-01)  $1,070




This INCREDIBLE 1.73ct Purple Sapphire comes from Ceylon.  It stood out among many hundreds of Rubies that we were looking at.  It was marked as a Ruby and we couldn't convince the dealer  that this label was incorrect, EVEN after we had the gemstone certed as a Sapphire (and another plus of the cert is that it is a Non-Heated gem!).  The color is actually the color of many of the Mozambique Fuschia to Purple Tourmalines that we have been purchasing.  In 26 years in the gemstone business, we haven't had a little beauty like this.  Under incandescent lights it Dances...and could possibly contain Chromium like Ruby.  (7.29x5.65x4.87mm)

A 2.89ct Ovaly-Cushion Blue-Indigo Sapphire from Thailand.  An incredible example and we were only able to obtain one....(8.36x7.27x5.53mm)   Has a paper Cert from Burapha Gemological Lab (BGL) in Chantaburi.  Since we hadn't done business with the individual who owned this gemstone, and the color, clarity, cutting were all good, we wanted to insure that our purchase was natural.  The cert indicates "Natural Blue Sapphire" and will accompany the sale.  Unheated!

Below are Yellow Sapphires from Thailand.  Until this year, we hadn't really seen any examples of Thai Sapphires during
our trips to Thailand, eventhough Chantaburi and the surrounding area had been producing fine examples of Sapphire for
hundreds of years.  This year, we saw a number of yellows as well as blues.  We purchased the finest example of the blue that came our way, and purchased all of the yellows from one miner that were decently faceted, had good color and were eye clean.  We would have purchased far more IF they were available, but supply of fine pieces are always in short supply.

1.98ct Green Sapphire
Most green sapphires are too dark, show zoning, inclusion as well as blue or yellow along with the green.  Many do not even have a nice green color.  Though slightly dark, this shows a nice green under bright lights and is a good example of what some of this material can look like.  We have only had one other fine green sapphire in stock over these past 25 years.  We will continue to seek out this material as the fine ones are quite rare and a challenge to find!  Eye clean, decent cut, good green color.

1.75ct Greenish Sapphire
Some sapphires have strong dichroism and when faceted, the colors blend or the differences in color  show up on the ends of the faceted gemstone.  This unique piece seems to be blue and yellow, so the colors tend to mix, creating a unique gemstone whose body color is more green, but whose components of blue and yellow show through when one looks closely at the gemstone.   (tog-05-01)  $700

A wonderful medium dark blue, Translucent which is what you want and it has a nice star when in the proper light.  Since the star is also centered in the middle of this gem (and this is usually not the case!), it was difficult to photograph the star looking down on the stone.  For those who understand Star Sapphire, you will be amazed at the color, the size, the star, the translucency and the price!   (aw-04-01)   $2,982

7.60ct Color Change Sapphire
This gemstone was discovered on a family's farm in Sri Lanka approximately 50 years ago and was recut from over 10cts to produce this brilliant gemstone.  The color is a wonderful rich, velvety blue to a beautiful purple depending on the lighting available.  Due to the color, faceting, size, etc., we have yet to see a finer example or a better price.   This has been exhibited within a dealers booth in Tucson - he sells fancy colored diamonds which may sell for more than one million dollars.  Though he is known for diamonds, he displayed this fine gem just because of his knowledge of how rare this particular stone is.  The woman responsible for viewing gemstones for Christie's Auction House in Chicago has also seen the piece and has also indicated that this is the finest example of a color change sapphire of this size that she has seen to date.    (pgml-93-01))

Orangy-Colored Sapphire Warning:

Over the past year or so, a new enhancement technique is being used.  Sapphires of an orangy color may have been diffused.  This treatment involves the heating of natural sapphire with Beryllium.  The Beryllium diffuses into the sapphire crystal structure and changes the color of the sapphire - typically causing an orange color, increasing the desirability and the saleability of the sapphire.  This technique of enhancement is not easily detected and is very often not disclosed.  Many orangy sapphires have appeared on the market recently, as well as the rare Padparadscha color.  Please be advised that orangy-colored sapphires might have been diffusion treated using this process.

Note that all orangy-colored sapphires in our inventory are a minimum of several years old and therefore DO NOT have this form of enhancement.  Because of  this process, we are not purchasing material which falls into this color range unless it has been certified by a lab that the color is natural.

Should you wish orange colored sapphires, please contact us with your needs.  We will continue to seek out good colored, faceted orange sapphires, but unless they are determined to be of natural color by a gemological lab, they are suspected to have been diffusion treated.  Please be aware that most of the material out there in the market are indeed diffusion treated and the colors may extend into other colors beyond pure orange.
