9.48 Cushion Unheated Burma Sapphire

Description
A top 70% primary color gem blue Burma sapphire with 75 (perfect) tone back from a collector. This is an ultra rare gem with vivid blue color. This stone will pops in all lights, even at night. The 9.48 is clean at LI2-MI1 clarity grade. That means you probably cannot see any inclusions with your eyes. The cutting and finish are vastly superior to most gems cut in Mogok. We accepted a serious weight loss to gain these top (Almost Idar-Oberstein) cut and finish numbers. The stone has a high 80% brilliancy. Naturally, the gem is not heated nor has any additional enhancements/treatments. All these factors go into the Excellent to Very Good or 2.5 TQIR grade. A benchmark collector piece or amazing rock set in jewelry.
