Australian Blue Sapphire - Emerald Cut - 9.75ct
This stunning Australian sapphire comes from the renowned gemfields around Rubyvale in Central Queensland. Its blue face reveals natural colour bandings of deeper blues that run along its length, reminiscent of the banding found in Australian Torrington emeralds. These unique features are a natural characteristic of sapphires, similar to the growth rings in trees.
Another noteworthy aspect of this gem is its length. It is uncommon to find good clean sapphires of this size; while heavier stones are available, elongated sapphires are rare. Over time, the natural formation and weathering processes often lead to shorter, chunkier pieces.
With its impressive length and width, this sapphire boasts a low profile, making it an ideal choice for a ring setting. It offers a wonderful opportunity for jewellery designers to create something truly special, as long Australian sapphires are seldom encountered. I highly recommend this exceptional sapphire for any collection.

Face on the gem is blue and on close inspection has natural colour bandings of darker blues running across the along the length, in a similar pattern to the banding in Australian Torrington emeralds. These are a natural feature of sapphires and you can think of them in a similar way to the growth rings in trees. With the green crosstable, as you move the gem around beautiful and subtle notes of green hue do come through.
