THIS SAPPHIRE IS COMPLETELY NATURAL AND UNTREATED WHICH IS EXTREMELY RARE AND ADDS IMMENSE VALUE TO THE GEMSTONE. FANCY COLORED SAPPHIRES HAVE LONG BEEN A JEWELERS FAVORITE FOR USE IN ALL JEWELERY APPLICATIONS. ITS HARDNESS OF 9 ON MOHS SCALE AND EXTREMELY STRONG DURABILITY MAKE IT A GREAT GEMSTONE FOR EVERYDAY USE, AS WELL AS A GREAT STONE FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES. SAPPHIRES COME IN VIRTUALLY EVERY COLOR IMAGINABLE, WHILE BLUE IS THE MOST POPULAR FANCY COLORS CAN OFTEN COMMAND SIGNIFICANTLY MORE AS THEY ARE MUCH LESS COMMON THEREFORE HAVE HIGHER DEMAND. SAPPHIRES OF EYE CLEAN CLARITY ARE EXTREMELY RARE. MOST SAPPHIRES USED IN JEWELRY TODAY HAVE A FOGGY TYPE CLARITY AND EYE VISIBLE INCLUSIONS WHEN IN SIZES OVER 1/4 CARAT. THIS IS THE REASON MOST MODERN PIECES OF JEWELRY USING SAPPHIRE HAVE MULTIPLE SMALLER STONES RATHER THAN 1 LARGE STONE.
