Man-Made Light Fusia (Sapphire) - $.10/carat
Locality: USA
I really do not cut man-made material very often, but a lot of people do, and I have to admit the finished stones are often very pretty. This is pink slightly cranberry and you should try it it makes a striking stone. Sapphire needs to be polished with diamonds, these colors can be cut in just about any design.
Although tempting because of price and color, I do not recommend this material for a new cutter, it is a bit tough to cut and polish for a novice.
Note: The Swiss material is a bit more money than the Russian and Chinese, but it has better and more consistant color plus it ususally cuts better too.
Currently Available:
1 each 157.5 carats - $15.75 medium pink boule
1 each 154.0 carats - $15.40 medium pink boule
