Key Lime Pie (Light Green Umba Sapphire .38 ct)

Pale and dreamy, Key Lime Pie (aka Light Green Umba Sapphire), is a gemstone that captures the essence of its namesake with a delightful and zesty appearance. It is a part of the Corundum lineage with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs hardness scale.

Despite its small size, Key Lime Pie packs a visual punch. The light green color is invigorating yet soothing, perfect for those who appreciate gemstones that combine vibrant energy with a gentle presence. The haziness of the sapphire adds a layer of intrigue, as it diffuses the light in a way that seems to glow from within, much like the heartwarming, familiar comfort of a homemade dessert.

Notes: Hazy inclusions: The haziness in Umba Sapphires is typically caused by the presence of minute inclusions within the stone. These inclusions are often rutile or silk, which scatter light as it passes through the gem, creating a soft, diffused appearance that reduces transparency but adds a dreamy quality to the stone.
