Looking through parcels for these is, admittedly, somewhat aggravating. Stones may have a few of the platelets that cause this multi-color schiller effect, but they may be visible only from the back or, most often, not at all. Once in a great while we find one with the perfect orientation to simply light up the table of a gem - as is the case here. Differing shapes and colors give an iridescence that goes beyond the schiller effect. Gorgeous to see this Sapphire and very, very uncommon.
