The ancient Persians believed the Earth rested on a huge blue Sapphire which gave the sky its color. Sapphires have been collected by royalty, the famous, and the prosperous for thousands of years. Princess Diana was given a sapphire in her engagement ring, and this royal blue sapphire is now worn by Catherine, Princess of Wales. This large, natural blue sapphire is cushion, in a brilliant/step cut, and is very eye clean. Its deep blue color is described as vivid blue, or royal blue. Has been heat-treated to bring out its rich, clear blue color. As a loose stone, it is ready to be set into the jewelry of your choice; perhaps an engagement ring for the princess in your life.
