[QUOTE="Lefty, post: 186939, member: 2976"] Yeah, it's enough to make ya spew! :mad: Be interesting to know exactly what sort of proportion of sapphires carrying the Ceylon label actually come from Australia, Madagascar or even other places that are not Ceylon. Finished a stone from Sapphire on Friday night. Finished stone went 4.25 carat. It was blue on green so I was a bit concerned about it being dark. I would not set in a bezel where no light can reach the pavilion but in a claw setting it would look great, as it does held in the tongs. The light green cross-table has permeated the blue table and the stone - while still somewhat deep in colour toward the centre - returns beautiful teal-coloured reflections. [/QUOTE]
