A rather magnificent gem. We aren’t often drawn enough to orange examples to select them - the color has a host of not-s0-great modifiers in Sapphire and the color often underwhelms. Unsaturated orange is brownish and unless the tone is just right as well you will not get an overly attractive stone. Everything goes right with this one - a superb, intensely saturated orange hue of just the right tone. Great size, perfect cutting and entirely clean. Nothing at all working against this one and this color - one of the best oranges possible in an unheated stone. With AGL SapphireBrief.
