That is some serious Blue color saturation. Fantastic, where did you get it from?

SS,
Nice stone, and very well cut. However, I suspect the stone is probably around 6mm since it''s 1.1 carats. It doesn''t appear to have a large table, and since sapphires are denser than diamonds, and a one carat diamond is around 6mm, that''s what I''m figuring.
Admittedly, I could be wrong on the size of a one carat diamond for mm sizes.Date: 6/13/2009 10:59:33 PM

I know that the specific gravity of corundum is significantly higher than diamond. However I do have an ideal cut reference CZ at 6.5mm (1 ct equivalent) and this is a bit bigger than that, though admittedly the accuracy of a measurment without calipers is not that high

Yes, I love small tables on stones. I just loved that designer cut, it was amazing!! As for the something minty, it should be arriving next week, and I hope I don''t have to return that one either. I''ve returned so much in recent days!! I''m getting something lilac as well.Date: 6/13/2009 11:05:11 PM

TL,
Don''t you just love those small tables?!? I am not quite sure how but despite a small table the crown isnt nearly as thick as that cool designer cut you posted in another thread... I sure wish it wasI hope you have something minty to show us soon![]()

Good luck on "reaching" your rainbow. I at one time had the delusioin I wanted a ring with every type of faceted gemstone. A girl''s got to have dreams, huh?Date: 6/13/2009 11:01:41 PM

Never get tired of seeing your stones, sleepy. The color on that sapphire is wonderful!
I''d be impressed if that baby is 7 mm! My sapphire is almost 2 ct and is about 7 mm.
