Sunday, November 29th, 2009Big Blue Sapphire Gem Stone, Large Sapphires
The size of this blue sapphire gem is an oval 9mm x 7mm. You might wonder whether this large blue sapphire gemstone can be called ‘large’. Before going into discussions you must know what actually constitutes a big gemstone. The gem type and quality surely play a role in defining a gem as a large or small size. For example when it comes to an amethyst a big gem would be around 10 to 15 carats but, move to blue topaz and you could push a 30 to 40 carat gem stone as a big gem.
In the case of rubies, sapphires, emeralds, tanzanite the category of large gems cannot be more than 2 .5 to 4 carats. Besides weight, you will also need to consider the quality of the gemstone. A low grade blue sapphire with little transparency and a dark (almost black color) can be found in sizes of 6 to 7 carats. But comparing this sapphire quality with what you see in BSN-50 is a waste of time. The gemstone shown above has been handpicked and custom cut by Thailand’s finest gem cutters. It is perfectly suited for a highend mens sapphire gem stone ring.
