Gem-quality sapphire

Gem-quality sapphire is a highly valued, durable gemstone known for its rich, vivid colors, typically blue but also available in other shades like pink, yellow, or green. It has excellent clarity with few internal flaws and precise cuts that enhance its brilliance. To be considered gem-quality, sapphires must be free of significant inclusions and have a well-balanced color and transparency. These characteristics distinguish them from industrial or lower-grade stones, making them desirable for fine jewelry. Their hardness and durability also ensure they maintain their beauty over time.
