Loose Oval Cut Blue Sapphire

This item is a loose, faceted gemstone identified as a blue sapphire (corundum species). The gemstone features an oval proportions cut, which appears to be approximately 1.5 to 2.5 carats based on its size relative to the human hand in the image. The color exhibits a deep, vivid saturation of royal blue with primary blue hues and potentially subtle violet secondary undertones. The clarity appears to be eye-clean from the top-down view, though professional microscopic examination would be required to identify natural inclusions like rutile silk or color zoning, which help distinguish natural origin from lab-created equivalents. The cut demonstrates a standard crown facet pattern with a polished table. Visible condition appears excellent with no major chips, scuffs, or abrasions noted on the crown or girdle edges, suggesting it has been well-protected or recently cut. The depth of the stone appears significant, contributing to the richness of the internal light reflections. In terms of quality, the saturation level is highly desirable in the gemstone market. Without laboratory testing, the treatment status (such as standard heat treatment) and geographical origin (e.g., Sri Lanka, Madagascar, or Myanmar) cannot be definitively determined, though its color profile aligns with high-end commercial jewelry standards.
