Just a fantastic Pink Sapphire here.  The stone has a natural near the girdle on the backside, which is why the appraised value is only $1000 for this stone.  A natural is a surface defect on the stone that the polisher couldn’t get rid of.  This one is well hidden and doesn’t affect the beauty of the stone.  But because it’s there, the value is diminished, which is reflected in the appraisal.  The appraiser made sure to take a clear picture of the natural and printed the picture right on the appraisal to document it.

This gemstone comes with the pictured appraisal certificate from a GIA Graduate Gemologist in the San Diego Jewelry District.  For those who don’t know how appraisal values are determined, there are two ways that appraisal values are determined.  Some appraisers give the retail value of the piece, whereas others give a replacement value.  The appraisal for this stone is not a retail value.  As you can see, it’s a replacement value, meaning, it’s the value it would cost an insurance company to replace the item.  And because insurance companies use wholesalers to replace lost or damaged goods, replacement values are considered wholesale, generally around 50% of a retail value.  That means that this stone, in a jewelry store, would sell in the range of $2,150.  And as you can see, the price we are asking is well below even the wholesale replacement value.

I took pictures of this stone in high magnification against a   white background   to give     you the best idea of color and quality.    As a certified   gemologist I can verify that the above description is         accurate and   that this stone/stones have been tested in the gem lab to    verify     identity and natural origin.

    The photos don't do this stone justice. The deep, bright reds are just stunning.
