Sapphire from the Umba Valley of Tanzania
This gemstone looks like melted sunshine!
In addition to the gorgeous color, there is some perfectly placed natural silk.
Silk in an Umba sapphire refers to the fine, needle-like inclusions of rutile within the gemstone, creating a soft, silky luster when viewed under light. These inclusions are a hallmark of natural Umba sapphires, often enhancing their visual appeal and contributing to unique optical effects.
