Natural royal blue sapphire on matrix. 254.70 ct from Kenya- 50.94 g

An impressive collector's piece: a deep blue sapphire crystal, firmly embedded in its natural mica-schist matrix. The crystal exhibits a clear prismatic formation with fine transparency and a fascinating play of color, whose glow unfolds in direct light. Particularly striking is the intense blue with violet nuances, further enhanced by the dark, high-contrast matrix.

The surface of the matrix is richly textured and traversed by glossy mica plates, giving the piece additional liveliness. The sapphire itself reveals its inner purity and captivating shine when backlit, which makes these gemstones so sought after.

A characterful specimen that unites the raw power of nature with the elegance of the gemstone – a focal point for mineral collectors as well as enthusiasts of extraordinary crystal formations.
