And I can't get a decent photo of it. This is the best I've managed so far:

I'll post more once I finally manage to get the trick to photographing this camera shy gem.
For now you'll have to believe me when I say this stone is the manifestation of all of my dreams and desires. It's a perfect treasure. A holy grail if there ever was one. I have been lucky enough to acquire some beautiful blue sapphires, but this one steals the show from all of them.
This photo is taken in relatively low light, in a curtained room, away from the window. Velvet Blue just leads the eye towards it.

I will be forever grateful to @Dr_Diesel for selecting me to be the custodian of this gem. I know many have mentioned in passing they'd love to buy it whenever it was posted before - I noticed every time, for I jealously wanted it, too. I don't doubt there would've been a queue from here to the moon for it, if it had made an appearance on the market. So I feel extra, particularly lucky right now.
Also,
(sorry not sorry)
