Extremely Unique Faceted Blue and Gold Star Sapphire - 1.96 ct.

Gem:  Sapphire Weight:  1.96 ct. Dimensions:  7.5 x 5.7 mm Clarity: SI/I  - depends on your definition of an inclusion in this case.  There are very few interruptions to the gem besides the golden/silvery star silk, but that silk takes up a good part of the gem.  Each blue stripe is clean and the color and brightness of the culet can be seen through those stripes, and just a little bit through the star sheen. Origin:  Weld River, Tasmania, Australia Treatments:  None  Comments: What an odd, and unique stone!  This otherwise baby-blue gemstone has a healthy dose of golden schiller all through it, with the exception of two or three parallel stripes where it is entirely clean!  I was on the fence, on this one, about whether to make it into a cabochon or a gemstone, and I'm glad I shot for the moon, and decided to have it cut. It's very memorable, and all the patterns, colors, and texture really could keep you staring for hours! If pressed I would say this gem is ideal for the gentleman in
