Depending on orientation and cutting style, the finished stone may reveal a medium to medium-dark green tone. Potential cutting options may include an oval, cushion, shield, freeform, or custom design, although the final recommendation will be guided by the shape and internal structure of the rough.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eAs with all natural sapphire rough, the final result cannot be guaranteed before cutting. Finished weight, clarity, colour, and inclusion visibility will depend on how the stone responds during preforming and faceting. The Sapphire Merchant will guide the process with the aim of balancing beauty, weight retention, durability, and the strongest possible finished appearance.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThis is more than a loose sapphire purchase.
