[QUOTE="stracci, post: 10258435, member: 13814"]I believe you have to ask and pay more for the country of origin on the GIA report. I see the inclusion and the native cut, which I am familiar with, having an assortment of sapphires myself. If I looked hard and long, I could probably find a similar item elsewhere for somewhat less. I looked around the website you provided, and they have a lot of nice sapphires, although pricey. I am the proud owner of a 4 ct. sapphire from a pawn shop:woot: Of course it doesn't compare to the $17,000 one, but I'll take what I can get! Yes, it's dark greenish blue and transparent. It's hard to capture the color, cause sapphires tend to blackout in certain light. It has silky inclusions which I love. A super lucky find that I paid a mere pittance for 20 years ago. But I'm always on the lookout for more! [ATTACH=full]514023[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]514025[/ATTACH] Here's another one that I found more recently, also from a pawn shop. I pounced on this one!!
