Trillion Cut Sapphires are a beautiful and unique gemstone. Trillion, or can be referred to as trilliant cut sapphires are triangle in shape. Straight edges (giving sharp points) are generally more used for side diamonds, and the curved edges are more what you’ll see with sapphires. This softer version, with three soft points, often looks larger than the carat weight might suggest. Boulder opals are the second most valuable type of opal. Boulder opals are easily distinguished by their layer of solid brown ironstone left on the back of the stone. Boulder opals, as the name suggests, are mined from large ironstone boulders under the ground.
