[QUOTE="stracci, post: 10258468, member: 13814"]It's really hard to find nice colored gems in pawnshops. Emeralds, rubies and sapphires tend to be low quality and yukky. I could not pass up that smaller sapphire. It has a tiny bit of color zoning, so I know it's natural, and most likely heated. Pawns are usually affordable and most will go down in price if you ask nicely and offer cash. I would have paid much, much more in a jewelry store. We need a sapphire thread...:joyful:[/QUOTE]
