Hi--
I recently purchased a sapphire from a very reputable online vendor. The stone arrived today and it is lovely; but examining it even without a loupe there is a double gouge on one of the sides, just below the face of the gem. This was not mentionned in the description of the gem and I am not sure how it would effect the value. I am fairly sure this vendor is not trying to misrepresent anything (very frequently recommned around here during my months of lurking), but I want to know what this gouge means for the gem''s value?
It''s a medium-dark "cornflower" blue (whatever that means, right?), and was about 2800 a carat.
Thanks!!!!
