I couldn’t believe it when I examined it and it appeared to be unheated as it little to no secondary color, and was clean and bright with only minor visible inclusions. This particular sapphire was mined in Sri Lanka, and cut in India.
Diamond has a hardness of 10 on the Moh’s scale and Sapphire is a close second at 9, so great for a stone for everyday wear. Although obviously it is not as brilliant as a diamond (the refractive index of diamond is much higher than sapphire), many people admire the beauty and elegance of a white sapphire and it being a fraction of the cost compared to diamond. Many people love white sapphire as a great alternative to a diamond. Finding white sapphire used to be a pretty easy task, but probably the past 5+ years it’s been more and more difficult as the rough just isn’t available in the larger sizes to cut. This is the largest emerald cut colorless sapphire we’ve ever come across.
