Description

Gemstone, Origin & Treatments

Species: Natural Corundum

Gemstone & Variety: Natural Blue Sapphire

Geographic Origin: Kashmir - India

Gemologist’s Comments on Geographic Origin: Discovered in 1881 in the Zanskar range of the Himalayan mountains in northwest India, the legendary Kashmir sapphires are the most beautiful and treasured of all blue sapphires.

The finest sapphires from Kashmir have a highly saturated color, along with a characteristic "silkiness" or velvety glow that makes them a phenomenon of nature. With the original mines long depleted, Kashmir sapphires are a rare find and among the most prized of all gemstones today.

Treatments: No Treatments (Unheated/Untreated)

Weight, Measurements & Shape

Weight: 2.69 carats

Measurements (L x W x H): 8.00 x 7.00 x 3.80 mm

Type of Cutting: Faceted

Shape: Rectangular Octagon - Emerald Cut / Step Cut

Color

Intensity of Color: Pale

Shade: Velvety Blue

Transparency & Clarity

Transparency: Transparent

Clarity grade: Moderately Included

Clarity description: Inclusions are moderately visible at eye view

Fluorescence

Fluorescence is the visible light some gemstones emit when exposed to invisible ultraviolet (UV) rays. We've described below the intensity and color of the gemstone's fluorescence under long-wave UV light (LWUV).

Fluorescence Intensity: Medium

Fluorescence Color: Yellow-Orange in Zone

Special Characteristics

Velvety Appearance: This gemstone exhibits an appearance that is classified as "velvety". Such an appearance results from very fine microscopic particles that scatter light, causing the coveted visual effect without negatively affecting the gem's transparency. Gemstones with a velvety appearance have little to no extinction, display a warm glow, and look very pleasing to the eye. Therefore, velvety appearance is considered a highly sought-after trait in gemstones. The most prominent examples of gemstones coveted for their velvety appearance are the legendary Kashmir sapphires.
