Royal Blue
«Royal Blue» describes sapphires with a deep, saturated blue that often carries a hint of violet and stays rich even in dimmer light. Like «Pigeon Blood» it is a laboratory designation with fixed criteria set by each laboratory. Without confirmation in the report it is merely description – NOBILITH uses it only with laboratory confirmation.
