{"title":"GIA Report Stones - Lab-Verified Natural Gemstones","description":"\u003cp\u003eGIA — the Gemological Institute of America — is the most trusted independent laboratory in the gem trade, and a GIA report is the closest thing the industry has to an unbiased second opinion on a stone. This collection brings together every loose gemstone we carry that ships with a GIA identification or origin report, so you can shop with lab-verified confidence from the first click.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy a GIA report matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA GIA report independently verifies what you're actually buying: species (is it truly a sapphire, ruby, or garnet), treatment status (heated or unheated, and if heated, whether it's detectable), and — for many stones — country of origin. GIA has no financial stake in the sale, which is exactly why buyers and appraisers treat its reports as the benchmark. Every listing in this collection links to or displays the relevant report details on the product page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat to expect from a GIA-documented stone\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecies and variety.\u003c\/strong\u003e The report confirms the stone is natural corundum (sapphire or ruby), natural garnet, or the relevant species — not a synthetic or simulant — and identifies the color variety.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTreatment disclosure.\u003c\/strong\u003e GIA reports state plainly whether a stone shows evidence of heat treatment or is unheated\/untreated.

It is not a GIA term: GIA's report records the shape as Octagonal and the cutting style as Modified Brilliant Cut. The outline is a rectangle with its corners cut off, and brilliant facets cover both the top and the bottom of the stone. Brilliant facets are arranged to send light back to the eye as sparkle.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy our arithmetic, the stone is about 1.44 times as long as it is wide. It is 4.74 mm deep on a 5.48 mm width, so it is cut deep for its outline. It will face up smaller than a shallower 2.00-carat stone, and your setter will want room for it beneath the setting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eOur Sourcing Record\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWe buy in Sri Lanka through our offices in Colombo, Beruwala and Ratnapura, and this sapphire came to us that way.

Teal sapphire is natural corundum at the intersection of blue and green — a dual-tone color that shifts between its blue and green components depending on angle, distance, and light source. The cushion cut at 1.75 carats concentrates the teal saturation across a broad face, making the color-shift character visible and vivid in any setting.
