Description
- Star Sapphire
The star sapphire weighing 88.88 carats.
Condition
Colour and Clarity: According to the IGI report, the star sapphire is natural, of Sri Lankan origin, and with no indications of treatment. Please refer to the report for details. In our opinion, the star sapphire is of light-medium greyish blue colour, with distinct asterism effect, high dome but is slightly flattened on one side. Under the 10x loupe inspection, there are two surface reaching fingerprint inclusions, minor hairline scratches and tiny chips on the dome but not noticeable to the naked eye.

Prospective buyers should inspect each lot to satisfy themselves as to condition and must understand that any statement made by Sotheby's is merely a subjective qualified opinion.

Prospective purchasers are reminded that, unless the catalogue description specifically states that a stone is natural, we have assumed that some form of treatment may have been used and that such treatment may not be permanent. Our presale estimates reflect this assumption.
