9.24ct natural unheated red sapphire for sale.

This unusual sapphire first caught our eyes because we do not usually see sapphires of this color, a red sapphire, which might be a garnet’s color, or a spinel’s color.

The stone is certified as red, by Lotus Gemology, because it shows up as a wine red even in the lowest light, from strength to strength without losing its red.

In a room with only the warm light from a table lamp, the sapphire is never dark but red. Many rubies do not even achieve this ability to hold their red (ie. they just look dark).

In daylight you can see the purple in its red. Photos of the gem in the garden are completely unedited, taken in daylight.

The delightful trait in this sapphire is its vivid color, in or out of the light. This is suitable if you are looking for a sapphire or ruby, with a deep red tinged with pink and orange, but never dark.

Spanning 14.55mm by 12.36mm, this is an attractive size for a ring or pendant.

While it may not be a Ceylon sapphire, it is an interesting collector stone at a great size and still undervalued. Seasoned collectors look for this ‘undervalued’ quality – before a ‘regulated’ stone’s price becomes dictated by the market.

A look at our selection will reveal that we are not gem dealers. The items we include for sale here come from our own private collection, with some lots used for setting our own jewelry. What we mean to say is, these are all high quality pieces that have passed through a selective eye, rather than readily available gems for sale. None of these are for sale like available "stock" in a store. Which explains why the prices may look too good to be true - we use these gems ourselves! We are artists/craftsmen/jewellers with plans to use the gems you see here some day. But until then (and for cash flow reasons), these are available to similar minds. We have a store in Singapore called the Singapore Island Jewellery Store. We work with commissioned fine jewellery pieces, gemstones, and antique jewellery. We specialize in unheated and high carat gemstones. We do not accept returns at our store. There is just too much processing involved for a small business like ours. We would rather have no sale than to have an uncertain sale. However, because Gem Rock implements a 14-day return policy for all sellers, we will accept returns and charge a 10% restocking fee. Shipping and insurance charges are not refundable. Exchanges may be considered on a case-by-case basis.
