An unusually successful example from a deposit famous for producing Sapphire/Ruby combinations. Winza gems are notorious for their strong color zoning and ability to show both red/pink and deep blue in the same gem. This most often manifests as very dark blue patches (many almost black in appearance) scattered in a lighter red/pinkish gem. This gem is particularly fine in that the blue is quite distinct and not overly dark - exactly what you want these to look like. There is even a good deal of purple flash as the two colors mix face-up. As with most, not entirely clean but a very fine larger stone with distinct colors and a nice visual appeal.
