It's from Dana Reynolds of Master Cut Gems: 11mm x 9mm natural unheated, untreated translucent high dome blue star sapphire from Sri Lanka. It's from 15 year-old stock, which is great because, well, I have a thing for old stock gems...
I took about 100 photos, they all look like lumps of coal, but DH picked up the camera, took this one shot, and it's the best of the lot...The photo's still darker than actual colour, but you get an idea of the stone's wonderful translucence...

Here's Mr. Reynold's photo: Again, too dark, but you get a better look at the star...
I highly recommend Mr. Reynold's gems: He's extremely nice, his gemcutting is superb, and his gems are very reasonably priced.

Probably a very simple bezel setting, either in platinum or Argentium. I'm considering a local metalsmith, Connie Ulrich; Julia Kay Taylor, and onegarnetgirl. Julia Kay Taylor and onegarnetgirl are both on etsy.
This is my forever dream stone...I never, ever, thought I'd find one of this quality that I could afford.
