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. As these come in array of hues, this particular stone has the added advantage of being a really lovely classic blue. Fairly sizable and very fine color from this historic locale.
