{"title":"GIA Report Purple Sapphires - Lab-Verified Natural Loose Stones","description":"\u003cp\u003ePurple sapphire is corundum, the same mineral species as ruby and blue sapphire. Every stone in this collection ships with a GIA identification or origin report, confirming it is natural corundum and stating its treatment status plainly. Some of these stones are also star sapphires, where oriented inclusions produce asterism across the dome of a cabochon; the product page says which.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat the report carries\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA GIA report states the species and variety, the weight, measurements, shape, colour and cutting style as findings, and records any heating under Additional Results. Geographic origin, where the report gives one, is an expert opinion and GIA prints that qualification itself. GIA coloured-stone reports carry no clarity grade and no saturation or tone grade — where this store describes clarity, that is our own assessment and every product page marks it as ours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to look at\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour.\u003c\/strong\u003e The report prints one colour value.

GIA states that it does not grade or provide quality analysis for sapphire or other colored stones, and no laboratory publishes a grading scheme for a star. So there is no laboratory grade for a star, and we do not publish an opinion of our own in place of one.
