I have been a very bad or a very good PSer (depending upon your POV) and have made a number of expensive gemstones purchases of late. In order to appease my husband, I am selling a few lovely coloured sapphires out of my own personal collection. All of these were handpicked by me for shape or colour or something that got my attention. Great for Xmas gifts or for people generally looking for decent coloured blue sapphires. LT frequently doesn't send messages so if you have any questions please contact me via my direct email address which is listed at the bottom of the LT listings for each stone.
Stone 1
2.50 Round Cornflower Blue Sapphire. This stone is a real true cornflower colour - that lighter to mid with a hint of lavender in some lighting colour. It colour changes from a lovely electric blue in low lighting to the real colour (a lighter mid blue) of cornflowers in bright lighting.
This stone would be great for someone looking for a mid coloured not too dark stone who doesn't mind a sometimes hint of lavender. Really rare shade to find it moves from a dusky cornflower to a mid to light electric blue as you can see in the photos below.
The stone is 7.24 around and 5.53 deep. I'm selling it as heat only I can't remember if this one was heated or unheated as it is out of my own personal collection that I owned for some time, and I can't find anything written down anywhere on it.
Photos 1 & 2 are inside kitchen lighting and very close to what the eye sees in colour when it is that dusky colour of real cornflower flowers;
In kitchen lighting to compare to the other sapphires I have for sale for colour;
Next photo is in the light box which amps up the colour the stone is not that dark or saturated but this lighting is similar to strong shop lighting and what a lot of professional vendors use to take photos, so I include it only as a comparison to with you would see vendor selling;
Next pic is indoors in natural lighting next to a window;
Final pics are outside in the shade in natural lighting;
The following videos are a great example of how the colour changes depending upon the light source.

Price is $2500USD ono. Registered trackable shipping is $25.00USD

Stone no. 2
A really stunning heat only electric blue, the stone was hand selected by me specifically because of the vibrant colour, and is only being sold because I have another larger one in my collection that is the same colour. The stone is between 2.80 and 2.79 carats I sometimes call it both (2.80 & 2.79) it is 8.05 x 6.40 x 5.58.
The stone is a electric blue in dark lighting situations to a darker mid cornflower blue in strong lighting situations. It would be classified as a "cornflower" blue stone but is what I would describe at the darker end of cornflower going into peacock blue in low lighting situations but not royal and never too dark in any lighting. This particular stone is pretty close to a trade ideal vivid electric blue up the darker end of what vendors technically classify as "cornflower," even though it is darker than real cornflowers (the actual flowers) and darker than stone no.1. It is a lovely shade of blue IRL.
First three photos are in a light box which amps up the colour of the stone, it is only that saturated in strong shop lighting but I include these photos as a fair comparable to photos from vendors that take professional gemstone pics and seem to use tricks of the trade to present over saturated colours, the stone is a slightly lighter shade of blue and less saturated IRL;
