NGC Comment: It is almost impossible to find a round shaped unheated gem blue Classic Burma sapphire. These stones sell for a premium to cushions and ovals. The stone is 70% blue with 80 tone. However, the stone is a light 80 tone or 75-80. We consider this tone 77.5. The gemstone is really clean at LI1-LI2 and the silk is impossible to see with your eyes. The gemstone is almost as brilliant as a diamond at 90%. This stone puts most blue diamonds to shame. A serious stone for a collector or would look stunning mounted in jewelry!
