What to look for
Velvety blue to violetish blue, medium to medium dark, strong to vivid.
Most have some inclusions. Very clean blue sapphires are rare and valuable.
Heating can deepen blue plus clear silk. Some induced orange colors fade in light, so ask for a lab report.
Fine stones in larger sizes rise sharply in price.
