Opinions on this sapphire?

Sri lanka Natural Heated Blue Sapphire 1.22 carat ** VIDEO ** in Ruby and Sapphire

I like the color it’s cheap (I think?). I wish it were an oval though...

I like it. I personally prefer either vivid saturation or pastels, not a medium blue color as this one is. I think that it's priced well for what it is.

Dana has great prices and great cutting, and also he is super trustworthy so good to buy sapphires from. It's not likely to be the most super vivid in saturation (and may actually be pastel-ish) but it looks like it will probably be quite bright and sparkly.

Lol I like ovals too (actually I like roundish ovals) but I think rounds are in greater demand

Great price. It's toward the greenish (well, teal-ish) to my eye -- thought it was Montana at first. I love medium-blue tone but more of a violet-blue or pure blue. For $289 it's hard to be too picky. You could easily spend 10 - 20X that for one that ticks all the boxes, of course.

I personally am not keen on the colour and would prefer more intensity and saturation.

However, it is a lovely stone for its cutting, and price!

Can-t see the price but the gem is nice.

Thanks all! I ended up requesting a video and it’s more like the last photo and less like the first so I’m back on the fence.

Their stones are usually marginally less saturated and less bright IRL, but it should be fairly close to the video. It's a good price for what it is.

Nice colour and good price. I don't see details about the stone though. What is the clarity listed at? I have this nagging feeling that it might not be eye clean.

Just watched the video. I expect this one will shift color a bit based on lighting, etc. Its more of a grey/blue in her video. On the bright side, they have a great return policy if you dont like it in person, but obviously I wouldn't order if you expect to dislike it.

I ended up just booking an AirBnB in Montana and I’m going to see if I can find one there at one of their mines before buying one. I’m only a couple states away so it’ll be fun! If I can’t find anything I’ll reconsider buying one.

FYI, I've found that his stones are so more sparkly and prettier in person.
