Blue Sapphire — 3.42 ct

Blue Sapphire

3.42 ct · 9.18 × 7.44 × 5.06 mm · Sri Lanka

The rough carried its best colour along an axis that fought the shape. Turning it cost just over half a carat and moved the blue into the face-up view, where it holds through the full range of the pavilion rather than pooling at one end.
