An oval cabochon sapphire from An Phu, Vietnam, displaying a vivid purplish-red tone in daylight and an extraordinary red fluorescence under UV light. This strong UV reactivity is a diagnostic trait of corundum from this locality, caused by trace element chemistry unique to the deposit. Such sapphires are prized by collectors not only for their striking body color but also for their dramatic response to ultraviolet light, which adds a second dimension to their beauty. A fine addition for any collector seeking rare sapphires with distinctive optical properties.
