When I first saw it I thought it was a production blue lol. Thanks for the example.

I have no doubt that "Sapphire Gem" is Hoovers name for production blues.

Finding info under that trade name is challenging so I threw this one out for the world to be able to see.

PS: He gets to stay so long as he doesn't turn into a jerk.

We still have this guy. He has been well behaved so far.
Currently he is 18-19 weeks old. His markings are far more pronounced than just a month ago.

He's a looker for sure with that color and those bright red wattles!
He's a good boy on top of being handsome!

I am SO happy he is working out, he's too pretty to have to rehome should he have turned out crotchety.

Is that a full Sapphire Gem? He looks like he has some barred rock in him...
