Description
This impressive blue Sapphire from Sri-lanka, not only displays colour change but is also strongly UV reactive, setting it apart from other colour change Sapphires.
UV reactive Sapphires are very rare, so when you find one that also displays colour change it adds to its appeal as a collectable gemstone.
When viewed in daylight or when using a cool white light source it displays a light blue colour which then changes to a pink magenta colour under a warm incandescent light source, making it a colour change Sapphire.
Despite its relatively small size weighing in at .50crts, this Sapphire makes up for it by also displaying a very strong reaction to long wave UV light causing it to glow bright red, making it a very special gemstone.
The combination of this Sapphire being both UV reactive and displaying colour change, really adds to its appeal as a collectable gemstone!
So whether you are a collector of gemstones or a gemmology student fascinated by the reactions these gemstones produce, you soon see the appeal of adding this gemstone to your collection.
This stone is untreated and completely natural, it has a clarity rating of VS – Very slightly included.
