No reserve price - 1 pcs Purple Sapphire - 0.97 ct - International Gemological Institute (IGI) - PREMIUM FINE QUALITY

Purple sapphires, a rarer variety within the corundum mineral group, offer a unique alternative to the more common blue and pink hues. With a carat weight just under one carat, this purple sapphire certified by the International Gemological Institute (IGI) exemplifies fine quality through its rich coloration and clarity. The purple color arises from trace elements, potentially including vanadium or combinations of iron and titanium. Due to their distinctive color, purple sapphires have gained attention not just as collector’s gems but also as expressive stones for custom and couture jewelry. Their hardness and durability, like all sapphires, make them practical for everyday wear. The premium fine quality designation by IGI reflects superior craftsmanship in cutting and gem purity, which enhances light performance and overall brilliance.
