Gemstone: Blue Topaz - 247.55 Cts.
Presumed Brazil

Coveted for its captivating blue bodycolor, clarity, size, hardness, and affordability, Blue Topaz is often preferred over Aquamarine and Tourmaline. Weighing nearly 250 carats, this behemoth gemstone exhibits a lovely, well-balanced light greenish blue hue, also known as Sky Blue. The chic emerald-shaped stone features sharp step-cut faceting and an even tone. The gemstone displays excellent brilliance and nice scintillation. It is in overall good condition, with only a few small nicks to the facet junctions on the pavilion and table. The alluring hue and elegant shape make this gem a great example of the popular variety.
Measurements: 37.65 x 21.22 x 21.07 mm, 247.55 cts.
