1.27ct Australian Sapphire, Parti, Blue, Teal, Yellow - Pear

A deep blue parti sapphire that has a yellow tip that mixes the available light to form lovely teal colours that sparkle through the gemstone.

Please keep in mind that many Australian sapphires will change colour slightly depending on the light source, especially teal coloured sapphires and parti sapphires. Strictly speaking, parti sapphires contain three or more colours within one sapphire, two colours being bi-coloured. To make it easier most people refer to any sapphire that has two or more colours within it a parti sapphire. Parti comes from the word partition, as the colours are normally segregated and don't blend. However, light passing through the gemstone may blend the colours, bringing an almost kaleidoscope effect. Generally, natural light will bring about more blue tones, and artificial light more green.
