1) How much does 4 to 5 carats Sri Lankan Royal Blue Sapphire Cost? (min 0:46)
2) First Microscope - 4.06 carats Unheated Sapphire (min 3:12)
3) Second Microscope - 4.14 carats Heated Sapphire (min 4:36)
4) Third Microscope - 5.12 carats Heated Sapphire (min 5:46)
In this video, I compare the prices between one unheated and two heated GRS certified 4 to 5 carat, Vivid 'Royal Blue' Sri Lankan Sapphire using 4Cs + OT. method.
All three stones have similar criteria as shown below (all GRS certified):
a) Carat Weight (similar) - 4 to 5 carat
b) Color (same) - Top Vivid Royal Blue
c) Clarity (same) - Eye Clean, Transparent
d) Cut (same) - Very Good to Excellent
e) Origin (same) - Sri Lankan
f) Treatment (difference) - 100% natural unheated vs heated
The video also provides microscopic videos & images of 'typical' natural inclusions you see inside unheated & heated Sri Lankan sapphires.
Hope everyone finds this information useful and wish everyone the best of luck with their sapphire hunting!

Бывают ли подобные включения как на 1 фотографии в природных александритах или если есть такие же включения это природный сапфир-хамелион меняющий цвет?
Wow srilankan stones great
Wow beautiful
Thank you!
Nice video but in same clarity grade everybody asking in low price in Sri lanka so do buy this kind of royal blue more then 3 crts but I will give you in reasonable price
I have 4ct cats eye. If you want tell me
you buy this sapphire?
Very informative, thank you!
May I ask, what would be the price/ct for 2-3ctw, heated Sri Lankan with similar quality as shown here?
Hi, if this quality price 'heated' stone around 2 to 3 carat price I believe should be around US$1,200 to US$1,500 per carat. Prices do drop dramatically if the stone is subject with heat treatment and size drops towards 2 carats.

I’m currently in Thailand and I have some Kashmir royal blue sapphires with good sizes that I want to try and cut a few atleast use one for my my pendant 😂😂! Please can you advise, I don’t want them heated. How do I explain this to the person that is to cut it? And can you also advise a possible place to cut one in BKK? Thanks
Hi Fred,
Sorry just saw your message. There are a lot cutters in Bangkok or Chanthaburi and really depends in what quality the stones are and how much you would like to spend.

Tarun Gupta, GIA GG
Hai please help me&i need your opinion, better purchase the un heated with unequaly luster or heated with equally luster metallic blue? Tq
In terms of investment, unheated due to being more rare does go up price a lot more. In terms of everyday use, both are equally good. Heated Blue Sapphire color is stable.

Tarun Gupta, GIA GG
What is the rarest most valued color? A cornflower blue? Or royal blue?
@@rainbowstar2775 of course royal blue👍
my grandfather gave me a sapphire blue rough stone unheated 55 carat where can i sell it??
Recommend you certified it first and then see if there any dealers interested in it.
As discussed in the video it really depends on six criteria - 4Cs + OT (Carat weight, color, cut, clarity, origin and treatment).

Hello, good day, you know, I just acquired a Sapphire of more than 15 carats, Kashmir blue sapphire without treatment and without heating. In these I see your videos I see prices for the treatments and those that are not without heating, but these from Kashmir will be another, more valuable price or they have the same price. because I have. one over 36 carats heated which is of Sri Lankan origin has excellent color
Nice collection and like I discussed on the video we have to take into all the six factors - carat weight, color, clarity, cut, origin and treatment.
Now if you have a 15 carat Kashmir Blue sapphire (unheated) - it pretty much hits most of the factors - only thing we have to see cut and color grade,
Same with 36 carat Sri Lankan.
Anyways, both are amazing investments and congratulation in having them.

@@ThaiNativeGems my question is the following: do you live in the usa, what part of it am i in connecticut, usa, if you live around here. you have the authority to certify or you send them to GIA.
🥰🙏
What about diffusion sapphire???
Didn't included in this video. I will discuss it in future videos, and thanks for suggestion.
Thank you very much, how much should I pay for diffusion sapphire?
So basically all those stones on eBay are all fakes for the prices they're selling them for?
They might not be necessary fake but most probably sacrificing one of the six criteria (4Cs + OT - carat weight, color, clarity, cut grade, origin or treatment).
That is why is important to get a reliable third party certificate or trust the person you dealing with.
Thanks for the question.

Tarun Gupta, GIA GG
wholesale prices?
We actually provide same price for all customers, wholesale or retail.
You can get cheaper blue sapphires but will usually have sacrifice one of 4Cs + OT criteria.

The heated ones look better. Seems like a heated one is more attractive and the price of the unheated stone doesn’t make sense. It’s just a way to make the price more by claiming it is an untouched stone.
It’s the matter of rarity. Heating can easily make a stone look better but to own an unheated that looks equally as great is harder to come by so super rich peeps love that
Exactly. Its all about how rare a particular gemstone is. If the untreated gemstone comes out in this color, it exceptionally rare and extremely difficult to find and that is why they command a much higher price.
Heated gemstones without treatment generally doesn't look as attractive (can look dull blue, or white cloudy stone, etc.,). Therefore these stones are less rare and therefore more easily available and cheaper.
I do agree though look-wise they look exactly the same. Though in general, long term, the unheated & untreated ones keep going up in value and it is a 'status' symbol.

i have sapphire
We acquire these sapphires when our clients have orders. Is you sapphire certified from reliable third party certificate provider?

Tarun
i have 16 grams of sapphire whole piece. any buyer here?
I have blue naturel sapphire that look like Kashmir sapphire but they’re actually from Africa, I’ve test them in Dubai, if you’re interested pls contact
I have blue sapphire 0.5kg in Cambodia 🇰🇭.
@@hengtohun6813 i also have blue sapphire and I’m struggling to sell it I didn’t expect that it’s so difficult to buyers in this business
@@hengtohun6813 and I also have one piece of 4kg blue sapphire I’m just looking for buyers but it’s so hard to find one
@@mohamedcheloutanabdoulrahi1130 ok very difficult to sell it.
@@hengtohun6813 yes very difficult but I’m still trying and that’s my first time in the business I never concluded any business yet
If I subscribe can you give me one of them?
These stones weren't actually mine, but was used for 'educational' purposes. And these stones value is definitely a lot higher then 'TH-cam subscription,' plus we never buy any subscriptions. We just hope our subscribers find our educational videos useful.
Anyways, thanks for asking and I do hope you found the video useful. :)

More expensive than a diamond per carat!
Not sure if that is true for 4 to 5 carat diamond. :)

Tarun Gupta, GIA GG
Unheated very high price
Agree and it is possible to get cheaper unheated 4-carat blue sapphire.
However, you do have to sacrifice some of the 4Cs, especially color... Must blue sapphires you see don't have this vivid blue color, which makes the stone shown in the video exceptionally rare and therefore can command a much higher price.

နောက်ဆုံးအလုံးလှပါသည်
Thanks, though all pieces I did find quite beautiful.
Great video terrible title. Title needs to be searchable, key words, shorter. “how to spot treated sapphire”
Thanks for title suggestion. I guess being in the trade we get use to all the 'jargon.'
