Breathtaking blue .71ct Madagascar sapphire

This is a breathtakingly blue untreated Madagascar sapphire. The color is just spectacular.  With a little bit of silk, a little bit of color zoning but overall a majestic royal blue that just shouts, "Look at me!"
Madagascar sapphires are renowned for their color. This one came from a stone that had just a hint of yellow mixed with this amazing blue. The results are stunning, and as an unheated stone,  this color is as close to the perfect sapphire blue you're going to get. 
This is the perfect stone for a ring or pendant and is large enough to be a center stone or could work being set with other stones as an accent. 
The weight is .71ct, and it measures 6mmx5mm. Cut in a nice juicy pear shape.
