Sapphire Reddestone Creek, source of some of the very best Australian blue Sapphire, of which this 1.83ct round cut gemstone is one.
Australian Sapphire became known in the 1950s/1960s as being a very dark blue, plentiful and relatively inexpensive.
The very dark blue, unfortunately, does not show much liveliness, and liveliness is a major attraction in gemstones. In this Reddestone Creek Sapphire, however, is a very lively blue, a very strong lively blue. It is a very fine Australian Sapphire gemstone.
