We sometimes see this particularly saturated color from Brazil - however, it almost exclusively shows up in cat’s-eye gems. This bright, dare we say ‘neon’, pure blue is very infrequently encountered in fully transparent, full gem grade material. Not a large example, but with this intense color it certainly punches a bit above its weight. Excellent cutting and quite scarce.
