The current natural sapphire market has seen such extremes in supply and demand that Lab Grown Sapphire has been one of the great alternatives.  With the popularity of Lab Grown gems on the rise, it creates some unique opportunities for custom faceting.  Rarely are natural sapphires cut into any shape besides what is best for the highest yield.  A custom faceter can sit and improve cutting angles and cut large versions of shapes that would not be practical in natural Sapphire. This gem is a beautiful bicolor of Pink and Purple, the Fantasy cut creates a fascinating effect with the two colors. Lab sapphires are known for their clarity, and this is no exception. This stone is triangle-shaped with an intricate fantasy cut in the pavilion. This gem would make an amazing pendant or ring!  Apprentice cut at Kosnar Gems, Colorado, USA.  Enjoy!
