1.26 Cushion Heated Ceylon Sapphire

Description
Although the AGL does not state origin on this 1985 document because the lab just started around this time period (mid-1980's). We remember when Heated Ceylon sapphires were the most commonly traded sapphire gemstone at that time because they were available. Heated Ceylon sapphires were the norm before the production of Burma increased in the 1990's. This is a top example of an ultra desirable 3.5 color Ceylon gem. The stone is an intense gem at 70% blue with high brilliancy (80-90%). Pretty hard to see the inclusions because the stone is so saturated. It may be an interesting choice to start a gem collection or if you need a gemstone for jewelry. Report signed personally by Cap. Many consider this a collector's item, too.
