Here we have a beautiful natural oval cut gem quality fancy color purple sapphire - this earth mined natural sapphire is untreated and unheated - it is just as mother nature made it having been only faceted and polished. No modern treatments here! No glass filling! No beryllium! No diffusion! This gem sapphire is untreated and unheated - this is the natural color as it was mined!

This sapphire is color change - in some lights it is a deep dark purple and in other lights a deep dark red - and it also appears a mix of red and purple depending on the exact color temperature and type of lighting conditions. The color is a slightly reddish strongly saturated deep purple in many lighting conditions. In the photos we have shown how it appears when it looks purple with some red on the hand, when it appears purple and when it appears as a dark ruby. By convention although this stone is both a ruby and a sapphire such natural sapphires are called color change sapphires and they are rare.

The photos form part of the description. Like all colored stones there is a color variation that occurs in different lighting conditions both inside but also outside, even the time of day can make the color of a stone appear a little different. We do our best to show colors as we see them. Color perception is highly individual and some people can perceive more colors than others, also colors can appear somewhat different on different screens and devices due to variations in screen hardware and device display settings.
