What Makes a True Sapphire Stone Valuable and How Much Is It Worth?

When considering investing in gemstones, the true sapphire stone stands out for its exceptional beauty and value. But what defines a true sapphire stone, and how much is a sapphire stone worth? At Vivid Sapphire Store, we provide a range of authentic sapphires, and understanding their value can help you make an informed decision about your purchase. Here’s a closer look at what makes a true sapphire stone unique and how its worth is determined.

What Defines a True Sapphire Stone?

Authentic origins: A true sapphire stone is typically sourced from renowned locations such as Sri Lanka, Myanmar, and Kashmir. The origin often influences its color and value.

Color quality: True sapphires are prized for their deep, vibrant blue hues, though they can also be found in a variety of colors. The intensity and purity of the color significantly impact their value.

Clarity and cut: High-quality sapphires have minimal inclusions and are expertly cut to maximize their brilliance and overall appearance.

How Much Is a Sapphire Stone Worth?

Factors affecting value: The value of a sapphire stone is determined by several factors, including its color, clarity, cut, and carat weight. Higher quality stones with intense color and few inclusions command higher prices.

Price range: On average, sapphires can range from a few hundred to several thousand dollars per carat, depending on their quality. Rare colors and superior clarity can push the price even higher.

Steven Stone is just like me fr (has a rock collection)

[kiwibirb1]

brain not working so CURLY FUR AU!! (man i wish i could draw i have so. many. doodle ideas) WAIT NO CHANGE OF PLANS THROWING CURLY FUR ANNE INTO THE MEETUP (she's gonna be mouse bc. well. y'know.)

Okay so this is how the rest of the group finds out about her curse. When they were doing nicknames, she voted herself to be Mouse, and everyone went along with it and forgot to ask why she chose that name.

WV!Sasha: There's a river up ahead, why don't we take a break and go swim? Sapphire(CiH!Anne): Oh yeah I haven't gotten to really use my scale since I left the Zora! Mouse, checking pockets: Uh, yeah, I have enough potions. One of the Marcys can just brew me some more later. Let's go! *Group at the river. Mouse is hesitant to get in, and asks a lot of questions about the current speed. Heron(BT!Sasha) sneaks up behind her and tosses her into the river.* Mouse: AHHH NO WAIT! Heron: Te water's fine! Stop bein' such a worrywart! Ye were excited earlier, wernt'cha? Besides, yer in dear need of a bath! *Mouse splashes into the water, dirt streaming off of her* Mouse: Aw man that was my protective layer against the rain. Domino, can you make sure my clothes don't get lost? Thanks! Domino: Uh, sure? Why though, you're wearing th- *Mouse has disappeared, and in her place is a very soggy... mouse. Emerald(CiH!Marcy), who was closest, quickly grabs the rodent, who was frantically paddling towards a nearby rock outcropping.* Emerald: Woah, a frizzled mouse? These guys are way different then the fellas they had back in the forest! Mouse(Who is currently a mouse, and mice usually do not speak.): Oh, is that why my fur is curly? Emerald: AHHHHHHHHH! THE MOUSE SPOKE! *Emerald accidentally flings Mouse, launching the squeaking rodent into the air. She lands right into C!Anne's (Canon) hair.* C!Anne: Hehe that tickles. Mouse: Oh thank frog I cannot handle flying again. Scary when you're small. *Uh and then there's explanations and junk so now they're drying out and Mouse is still a mouse.* WV!Marcy: Okay, so, let me get this straight. You met a creepy old lady in the forest who gave you a really suspicious potion and you drank it for some reason. Potion turned out to be a curse that turns you into a mouse whenever you're clean? And you can be turned back with another potion but it doesn't remove the curse? Mouse: Yeah that's about it. Domino: Okay well at least we have an explanation for why you're always dirty. Like, no offense girl, but you stink. Mouse: Hey! It's not that bad! *Doubtful looks from entire party*

uh and thats it im out of steam gonna go actually finish that kill anne fic have fun yall

Headcanons about jewelry and accessories that redacted characters wear, and short backstories on how I think the charms were acquired. Plus a few sketches of the jewlery

Milo - he wears a lot of jewelry and has a lot of charms in his hair. Most of his jewelry he got himself, but there's 3 that are gifts. One from his Ma that's a family heirloom saphire dangling from a golden cuff he wears in his ear, a small gold cross on a necklace that Gabe gifted him when he got confirmed (ex catholic milo. He doesn't practice anymore, but the necklace has a sentimental meaning), and a golden promise band with an emerald inlaid that Sweetheart gave him after everyone else got engaged.

Vincent - He uses mobility aids. I think he was born with something like Hypermobile EDS that carried into being a vampire. As a result, he uses braces on his fingers and wrists. I don't have a lot of specific thoughts, just that every single one of the aids are custom made by commissioned artists. The finger ones are like decorative rings. The wrist ones are designed to look like leaves. I also saw a headcannon (I'm pretty sure it was from @us3rnam3-r3dact3d originally) that the Solaires all have some kind of jewelry or tool with a gemstone from Williams collection. I think Vincent's would be either a ring or necklace that he only really wore on special occasions

David - He isn't a really big jewelry person, he only wears his wedding ring on a chain around his neck tucked right over his heart. He also regularly wears the leather jacket Asher gave him because it feels safe as his dad's did when he was a teenager

Elliott - a golden sun shaped stud earing that Sunshine got him on their 1st anniversary. They get him a new sun themed piece of jewelry every year as a joke along with a second more genuine gift

Sunshine - a spinning fidget ring Aaron's partner gifted them when they met

Darlin - silver hair charms and a black leather bracelet with silver connectors that Gabe gifted them. They don't wear the bracelet much these days because they don't want anything to happen to it, but they keep it right next to their bed along with a necklace Sam gave them

Porter - a silver band ring with amethyst and sapphire inlaid that Treasure got a craft fair for him. He also has a stone from William but it's less of a cherished gift and more like a brand that he has to bear in honor of his role in the clan. It's an earing. Now that he's learning it's ok to have separation, he usually takes it off around Treasure, Vincent, and Sam

Gavin - he wears an unreasonable amount of jewelry sometimes. Usually though it's 3 rings on each hand, earrings, charms on his horns, a lip ring, and a tongue ring. He also keeps a piece of each of his friends on him at all times. Each of them have gifted him an earing at some point and it's the only thing he wears 24/7

Damien - gold eyebrow ring and a gold/green ring that Huxley gave him for his birthday when they were on vacation

Lasko - stainless steel ring with golden laurel designs that Dear gave him, and a very small dangling d20 charm as an earing

Huxley - isn't big on jewlery but wears a watch that Damien gave him for their anniversary. He also wears a beanie with silk on the inside that was a gift from FL

Freelancer - sounds like a Keychain jingling when they walk. They have so many piercings, and every single one has a different piece of hardware in it. Plus, the necklaces, rings, braclets, and charms. Their favorites are a set of rings the crew had commissioned for them for their birthday one year

Camelopardalis - jade earings that he found at a human craft fair. He also has a pair of glasses and a decorative chain that they're attached to so he can keep them around his neck

Gabe - he wore his wedding ring on his ring finger and his wife's wedding ring and engagement band on a chain around his neck

David's ring has their anniversary engraved in it but I couldn't get it to show up in the picture

The relationship between Lily and the other four clones was close, after all, they were the best five, though she was closer to Alpha-213, they usually teamed up to fight against others

If Stobotnik had managed to get in earlier, Alpha-142, the oldest clone, would have commanded the others to kill their creator and Stobotnik would have found five bloody little girls and a body

Alpha-142, the selfproclaimed leader of the group, would inform them that they have killed their creator since they were being saved

Stone is getting their "names" while Robotnik is stealing the info just like in the original au

Later, when the girls end up with them they name themselves after flowers

Alpha-142 is Rose Saphire

Alpha-153 is Dahlia Opal

Alpha-207 is Poppy Tourmaline

Alpha-213 is Lila Boleite

Alpha-214 is Lily Sodalite

Rose and Dahlia look a couple of years older than the other three, Lila and Lily consider themselves twins, since they're consecutive clones

All in all the flowers as they are often referred, grow slowly into different individuals, and they become the little terrors of Stobotnik

Rose is more like Stone in some aspects, Dahlia is like a mix of Stobotnik, Poppy is more like Ivo, and the twins are more like Maria

Rose and Dahlia look older because at first, their creator decided to make them a bit older but later didn't like how they were slower to learn stuff, so yeah they look two years older than the others

While the clones were made to be exactly the same, they were not

Some were stronger than others, some were smarter, some were faster, some were more agile and some healed faster.

The first to die were the faster ones and the stronger ones, later were anyone that didn't heal fast enough

Lily was the one with the best healing ability of the five, that why she survived

I was rewatching the amphibia finale (im a river of tears ofc) and I was wondering why domino 3 aka the guardian of the calamity stones voice sounded so similar. Turns out, the voice actress its the same as Steven Universe's Ruby (Charlyne Yi)! Maybe everyone knew this alredy but I'm shocked lol

Also, Yunan & Olivia remind me so much of Ruby & Saphire ❤️💙

I have two kids and they're both so unhinged

My dog set my kitchen on fire one time

I used to have a hatman irl but he was actually the Carrot Man and he looked like the peanut butter jelly time banana except a carrot and he was a friendly sleep paralysis demon and sometimes I miss him

How did you get into Fire Emblem? I went to GameStop and was looking at the used games and I guess Awakening caught my eye. 

What Fire Emblem games have you played? Genealogy, blazing blade, scared stones, some of por, sov, awakening, fates, 3h, engage. I've at least read through all of them except the tellius games. I should get on them. 

First & Favorite Fire Emblem games: first was Awakening, favorite to play is fe7

List your 5 favorite Fire Emblem characters across the series! Arvis, Travant, Finn, I really love Raphael maybe him, uhh this is hard to pick maybe Oifey. You could ask me this question tomorrow and I'll probably have a different answer

Who was the first character ever to make you go “ooh I like this one in particular” and why? Can be any context and reason! Frederick because I knew I was in love with him the moment I saw his face but Cynthia in a regular context 

Any Fire Emblem crushes? 😳 You know this you know it's Arvis and Travant but I do keep thinking about Raydrick recently. Wtf is wrong with me. 

If you’ve played (or are familiar with) the following games, who was your first S support? Who would you S support nowadays?

- Awakening: Frederick but I'd like to to a Priam romance someday

- Fates: I think it was Hinata but I honestly do not remember. Now idk! I don't think I've ever done the same s support twice in fates

- Three Houses: Claude but I would do a non romantic s support with Alois next time

- Engage: Saphir. Idk who I’d pick next time but it would be a different one. 

Favorite Fire Emblem class? Anything armored!

If you were a Fire Emblem character, what would be your class and stats? Would you be playable? Hmm I feel like I would probably not be playable. Some sort of healer if I was playable. A cleric. I cannot imagine myself having good stats you should bench me immediately.

If you were a Three Houses character, what would be your affiliation? (Black Eagles, Blue Lions, Golden Deer, Church of Seiros, Those Who Slither in the Dark, unaffiliated civilian, other - for example Almyran) Golden Deerrrrrr!!!!

If you were an Officers Academy student, what would be your boons, banes and potential budding talent? Boon would be healing, bane would be gauntlets, budding talent idk maybe riding or flying

If you were an Engage character, which nation would you originate from? (Firene, the Kingdom of Abundance; Brodia, the Kingdom of Might; Elusia, the Kingdom of Knowledge; Solm, the Queendom of Freedom; Lythos, the holy land of the Divine Dragon; Gradlon, the desolate land of the Fell Dragon) I think Brodia is cool but I don't think they would think I am cool

Past TOA muses? Hilda, Elise, Serra, Charlotte, Tina, Silvia, Ninian…I feel like I'm missing someone maybe

Do you believe you have a type of character you gravitate towards writing? (If you filled this out last year, has this changed in any way?) Tragic love interests and little sisters

Do you have characters or types of characters you don’t think you can handle writing, but wish you could? I think it would be cool to write Manuela one day but I am convinced I would be terrible at it, also any male character. For some reason I have a mental block against them and I'm not entirely sure why this is 

What kind of scenes, situations etc do you believe you enjoy writing the most? (If you filled this out last year, has this changed in any way?) I like writing dialogue! Love a good reunion also. 

Do you have any scenario in mind for your muse(s) that gets you thinking “man I hope I get to write this one day”? I would literally do anything to write with an Arion.

Favorite TOA-related memories? Bruh literally all of them. Don't make me choose there have been so many amazing times here. 

Present or past tense? Past

Normal size text, small text, no preference? Normal because I'm lazy

Got any potential muse delusions to share? 😉 Nope!

[theeeveetamer]

I have a pretty good inkling who your number ones are so can I ask for you for your top few fire emblem characters?

Always! I'm just gonna list off a few I really like and if you want more details on any of them I can go into it! Awakening was my first game and I've spent the majority of my time with the post-Awakening titles so that's gonna be the bulk of the list

For Awakening I initially liked Chrom, Robin, Henry, Lon'qu, Inigo, Noire, and Severa, and Lucina a lot. Cherche has also grown on me a lot over the years and not just because she's hot and can crush me like a bug and she was vital to my 2017 FEH team I swear

For Fates I like all of the Royal siblings, but Takumi, Leo, and Sakura are probably my top three. If I had to order them it'd probably be Takumi > Leo > Sakura > Xander = Camilla > Hinoka = Elise > Ryoma. Other than them Orochi, Rinkah, Charlotte (CQ wife), Reina (BR wife), Azura, and Nyx are all characters I enjoy. Honorable mentions to the four royal second gen kids as well as Selkie and Velouria!

SoV I don't hold a lot of strong opinions on since I only played it once back in 2017, but I remember really liking Kliff

For 3H all of the Blue Lions are my darlings, but I also like Dorothea, Petra, Manuela, Seteth, Rhea, Shamir and Catherine. Honorable mention to Cyril. I wrote him off initially but he's genuinely hilarious and savage when the writers let him talk about stuff other than Rhea

For Engage I honestly don't think there's a member of the cast I don't like, but Alfred, Celine, Alcryst, and Ivy (wife) are probably my top four. I really like all of the royals though, and additional shout outs to Rosado, Saphir, Merrin, and Chloe

Of the pre-Awakening characters I'd say Tibarn, the Heron sibs, Naesala, and Nailah are the stand outs from PoR/RD. Ike and Elincia are up there too as far as FE lords go. I recently beat Sacred Stones and there it's probably the twins, Innes, Tana, Seth, Cormag, with a little Ross just because mine ended up being a monster

I'm withholding adding characters from Binding Blade, Blazing Blade, Shadow Dragon, Genealogy, or Thracia to the list just becaues I haven't played those ones all the way through yet. Though I do have a soft spot for Caeda entirely because of FEH

I don't know if I'd be able to put them into a coherent top five all together, I'd probably have to go by game tbh, but this post is already pretty long so I'll refrain for now lol

Adventures in the Crab Crotch Nebula Chapter 21 - "A secret mission against Space Force".

After Princess O-Mhama Pa-Jhama captured the evil King of the Crabs. Her attention focused solely on her true mission. She had demanded that King Chachaka turn over the Sun Saphire - a treasure of Saphira which would prove to be more valuable than anything.

Princess Pa-Jhama and her sexy Space Sirens hustled their prisoner down the halls of his own palace.

"Where is it, butcher?" She brought her space laser sword closer to the multi-legged former scurge of every man and woman across the known universe. How many had fallen victim to his crab infestations?

"No needz to be hazty, Princezz. We juzt needz to go to the zenter of my palaze. But, I am curiouzzz. Doez your lover Captain Boomer Thrizzze know what you really zeek?"

"Princess." Boomer suddenly appeared blocking their way. "What are you doing?"

"Stay back, Boomer. This isn't your fight. This bastard decimated my world when he stole the Sun Saphire. You have no idea the darkness he brought to my world. Our star was extinguished. Hundreds of millions died, separated from our celestial heart."

Boomer tried to move closer, but the Space Sirens fired warning shots with their blasters.

"They will hurt you, Lil' Boomer. Please don't interfere."

The Crab King used that momentary lapse of concentration to hit a button on the wall and a secret trap door opened beneath his feet. The heroes could hear the King's cruel laughter as the secret door closed and sealed tight.

"Princess, I know about your secret mission. I know how vital to your people the Sun Saphire is." Boomer held up his hands. "I'm not here to stop you. I'm here to help you."

"Oh, Boomer." The Princess rushed to her former boyfriend and kissed him passionately.

"What about Space Force? I'm sure that your leaders know that a single piece of the Sun Saphire could power a planet for a million years."

"Earth stands with Saphira."

Princess Pa-Jhama's eyes welled up with tears.

Boomer and O-Mhama moved into the Crab King's treasure room. Every square inch was covered with the most precious artifacts and treasures of a hundred sentinent planets. But, at the center of the room, the unmistakable Sun Saphire spun on its axis in a negative gravity zone.

O-Mhama looked at Boomer for support. He nodded and she reached forward to take hold of the scintillating stone. There was a powerful flash of light. Boomer fell to the ground shielding his eyes. When he looked up again a new light enveloped the room. The light was warm and felt like a loving embrace.

At the center of the light stood Princess Pa-Jhama. But she had transformed. The Sun Saphire had accepted her. She had become the Sun Saphire - the goddess of light and life for her entire planet.

"Damn." Boomer smiled.

I'VE FINALLY MADE SOME DRAWING YESSS!

AAAAH!! CLAY WHY YOUR HAIR IS SO HARD TO DRAW SKSKSKFITK?!

Anyway this is just my take on Clay Moorington. Sorry but I can't draw armor (//YEAH NAERU YOU STUPID A**)

If you ever complained about the skin, lemme tell you reason why:

1. This artist is confused about darker skin color, but he's not that bright okay actually. I'm just too lazy to draw that pic so I just put random color using Pen (Fade)-like brush.

2. This design will be the checkpoint of my NEXO KNIGHTS X PROJECT SEKAI AU. In PROSEKA, there's no chara's with darker skin, sorry. But yeah, if you want him to be drawn as your version, go on. I'm safe for your HCS.

What the main checkpoint for my Clay design is the hair color -- the correct one is on chibi on the left, and eye colors.

1. During S1 until S3, Clay's eyes color are blue, his normal and natural one.

2. After being struck by Monstrox (S4E2), his eyes color are bright lemonish yellow (Chibi on left) and Grey Knight has same color as the stone color. Oh, don't forget that his eyes are lifeless.

3. During his awakening from stone, Clay's eyes color turned into normal blue, but added with orange (?) peach (?) whatever that highlight below (Him in the middle) This is inspired by a Korean artist who drew a chibi of how Clay's eye color and they made the eyes color like that, but they made them yellow. Clay's eyes remained that color for eternity. His eyes can turned into that yellow back if he's in trauma or having panic attack or anything that made him couldn't control himself and his magic.

(I too tried to make it yellow when I put in Screen mode it turned into that color so I just kept it like that. Besides, after some Tumblr-exploring and found a post about how magic in NK works, I think this color better because orange is quite color of Knighton)

4. He wears his blue gloves back, huzzah! Also he wore pendant. Explanations more on below when I rant about N25! Clay design.

And I made a lazy chibi of Clay in NEXO KNIGHTS X PROJECT SEKAI AU. Remember that I said he'll be in N25. Well, when I still work on plot, lemme give you some designs. (Drawn with zero motivation, sorry)

Some important things about his design.

1. In PRE-3RD ANNIV -Brand New World- Clay just wore kinda suit and vest, with black and blue colored ribbon. This followed with PRE-3RD ANNIV N25 original designs (that quite bland according to me)

.

2. In 3RD ANNIV and POST-3RD ANNIV -Brand New World- I put details on his design as what drawn. And I put some texture to follow the members design and added lotus flower on his robe just to follow the canon members' (As I rembered that Kanade and Mafuyu have iris flower, Ena has lily flower, Mizuki has germanium flower (?))

.

3. His eyes color followed what I designed him before. During beginning S3 his eyes still blue like before, during Grey Knight his eyes turn into stone-colored (As he turned into stone) and sometimes can turn into lemonish yellow color like above. After that, his final color is the same as checkpoint that I made for him.

.

4. Important things about 3RD ANNIV design:

A. His inner shirt actually have frills.

B. He wore blue pendant. At first, I don't know what type so some possibilities are tanzanite, sapphire, blue zircon, and aquamarine were the closest one. Tanzanite is meant a gemstone of transformation, symbolizes Clay's transformation in all aspects in his life. Blue zircon has a meaning to clear one's mind, symblolizes Clay's clearing mind from evil during turned into stone. Saphire symbolizes nobility, truth, sincerity, and faithfulness. Aquamarine symbolizes hapiness, hope, and everlasting youth. Yeah... You can think what type of gem that Clay uses.

C. If you saw clearly, the pendant ribbon and the veil whatever on his red shoulder had color of N25 members. The ribbon had reddish color, symbolizes Kanade's icon color. The veil had gradation of brown, purple, and pinkish color, symbolizes Ena, Mafuyu, and Mizuki.

D. He wears gloves on one side (Unlike PRE-3RD ANNIV design that he didn't use any glove, or the intial design from the first picture that he wears on both) If we follow the equality during NK stories, during S3 Clay thought it just for aesthetics. But after S4, Clay realized that it was to cover his glowing hands (IYKYK)

E. Don't forget, two garter belts on his left thighs. Just for details and accessories, no particular reason.

F. The robe he wears has gradients and textures following the N25 members design, and actually has 'cut' on his back so it's look like branched.

Wait... Okay, then that's it. I have initial HCs designs for the other Knights too and their PRSK unit clothes. I'll draw them when I have time and idea. So yeah, thank you.

A friendship// En vänskap

Holy bands between us materialised in gold and jewels. And with it the sacrality of immaterieality. Freely sold like gold for jewels and jewels for gold.

Worshipped as holy, And stars die in the flesh and skeleton of the body, No more than hands I do not see myself in. Creating things I do not see myself in.

Strangeled soul but you seem to blind to see it. In statue's lap, Whose fundemental value becomes material in your hand.

Which strokes my stone cold skin, You cannot see has been emptied of the silver light of light, which used to dance through eyes over your skin, Whose touch you claimed to have loved, Although you never felt it.

Not as real as gold in your hands, Saphires like eyes you saw in mine, As my hand's work, Shattering for cold touch Freezing my blood and my hand yours

It's work changed for gemstones before my eyes. Carrying in a ring to show your love, richness.

//

De heliga banden oss emellan materialiseras i guld och ädelstenar. Och med det försvinner sakraliteten i immaterialiteten. Fritt säljs guld mot ädelstenar, och ädelstenar mot guld, 

Som tillbeds som heligt. 

Och stjärnor dör i kroppens kött och skelett, 

Inget mer än händer jag inte känner igen, 

Som skapar saker jag inte ser min spegelbild i. 

Och det stryper själen du verkar vara för blind för att se, 

I statysköte, 

Vars inneboende värde materialiseras i din hand. 

Som smeker min stenkalla hy, 

Du inte märker har tömts på livets silversken som brukade dansa genom ögonen över din hud, 

Vars smekning du påstod att du älskade, 

Trots att du aldrig kände den. 

Inte lika konkret som guldet i dina händer, 

Safirer som ögon du såg i mina

Som mina händers arbete, 

Spricker av din kalla beröring, 

Fryser mitt blod och min hand ditt, 

Dess verk som byts mot juvelerarens smaragder du fäster framför mina ögon, 

Bär i en ring för att visa din kärlek, rikedom.

I finally sat down and colored LBD's design for my "Fire, Ice and Bone"-AU! ^^ One of the rules she and MK agree on to make the temporary "truce" work, is that she isn't allowed to posess her "hostes" anymore. But her demon apearance wouldn't do eather, so she uses her remaining magic to make herself a temporary body. However, bcouse of her limited magic at the time, her hair stays white instead of taking on the black she preferse.

Details about the design: 

Down bellow, I included the "inspiration board" I made for her design. I took inspiration from her "Ivory Lady"  appearance in regards to the sash, and from her “Lady Mystery” apearance for her hair. I also took some verry slight inspiration from Wei and Jin Dynastie Hanfu, but mixed it with the modern look of Cheongsam tops, making her outfit a three part outfit consisting of a dress, sash and top/jacket! (Fun fact, I didn't know what these tops where called before today, when I searched for a good picture to put on my inspiration board xD)

The cloud pattern on the dress is a nod to the mist that often anounces her apearance in the show, and the colors are just based on her usual colors.

I also specifically picked Saphires for her hairpiece, and those of you who payed attention might have also noticed that I included Saphires in Yins design (which I posted a while ago). I took a look into what different gems are associated with in china, and aparantly Saphires get associated with oracles and visions, and get called the “Third Eye Gemstone”. I thought that fitt her quiet well, considering all her talk about destiny, and the visions she sent Wukong, so this stone will be a reocuring theme with LBD’s allies. :3
