If you want a specific gemstone, contact us and we will find what we have and list if you are interested. We sell earth mined gems only....there are a LOT of man made gems on the market. Gemstones are governed by the law of supply and demand. Quality stones are in short supply and go up in value. Man made stones can be made in any quantity and go down in value. All of our gems have been examined by a qualified gemologist. Those that have the word “Certified” in the title have been examined by one of Canada’s top gemologists, We work closely with one of Canada’s finest gemmologists, Lee R. Rock, FCGmA, RMV,CDG, CAP-CIA, a Registered Master Valuer, Accredited Appraiser, and one of the most respected gemologists in Canada. We will provide a copy of our appraisal, based on her findings, free of charge. The retail replacement value and description on our appraisal will be accurate ( we do not issue over inflated evaluations) But, for insurance purposes, you may require a copy of her appraisal. (Actually, we are finding that insurance companies usually accept our appraisals….but we cannot guarantee that) If you wish the master valuer to provide her appraisal with her seal, we can arrange it for $35 ( a regular $60 value) This is star sapphire appraised by the master valuer at $380.00. It is  approx. 10.99 x 7.89 x 3.07 and weighing 3.08 ct. My pricing is based on my purchase price....you gain from my experienceA star sapphire is a type of sapphire that exhibits a star-like phenomenon known as asterism.  Star sapphires contain intersecting needle-like inclusions following the underlying crystal structure that cause the appearance of a six-rayed “star”-shaped pattern when viewed with a single overhead light source. The inclusion is often the mineral rutile, a mineral composed primarily of titanium dioxide. The stones are cut en cabochon. Sapphire is the birthstone for September.This is our SS7
