AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid and impressive natural blue sapphire rough crystal from the famous Sri Lanka (Ceylon) deposit. This exceptional specimen is distinguished by an impressive carat weight of 58.75 carats and by being completely authentic, untreated and unheated. The crystal shows a beautiful translucency and a blue-blue hue that lights up magnificently when backlit (as visible in photos taken with an artificial light source dedicated to it). An ideal piece both as a prestigious collectible specimen of structured minerals and as high-quality rough material for cutting and faceting for lapidaries.
