A very fine gem from a special locality. French Sapphires are storied gems indeed, for true connoisseurs the connotation holds something akin to Yogo Gulch, though in reality the French stones are infinitely rarer. Known since the medieval period, they continue to be avidly sought after. This lovely and pleasing mid-tone green color makes for a very lovely and quite approachable example. A clean and brilliant stone from this historic locale with absolutely nothing to detract.
