Description from the seller
Natural Blue Sapphire Rough - Sri Lanka - 62.40 ct (Untreated)
In the auction, a splendid specimen of rough blue sapphire from the renowned deposits of Sri Lanka (Ceylon), famous worldwide for the superior quality of their gems. This crystal stands out for an exceptional carat weight of 62.40 carats and a solid, well-defined structure. As visible from the backlit photographs, the piece shows extraordinary translucency and a vivid and deep electric blue color saturation, distributed in a fascinating way within the crystalline matrix. The most relevant aspect for collectors and investors is the stone's entirely natural state: this sapphire has undergone no thermal or chemical treatment, preserving the purity and original energy of the earth. An ideal piece both as a display specimen for high-level mineral collections and as rough material for investment for eventual subsequent faceting or carving.
