AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
This impressive rough crystal displays a unique, hard-to-find color nuance that immediately reminds connoisseurs of the legendary Padparadscha – a fascinating play of pink, purple, and warm, luminous orange tones that shine intensely especially when backlit. The surface preserves the original crystal structure with fine growth features, rough areas, and natural inclusions, emphasizing the authenticity and mineral history of the piece.
Inside, vibrant color zones reveal themselves under illumination, ranging from deep pink to glowing orange, giving the crystal its almost magical radiance. It is precisely this rare combination of color, transparency, and raw, unadulterated form that makes such sapphires particularly desirable for collectors and gemstone enthusiasts. At the same time, the rising luminosity in the light bestows the stone with an noble, almost mystical presence.
An extraordinary rough sapphire that stands out both aesthetically and mineralogically, offering itself as a value-enhancing collector's piece – a piece of nature showcasing the rarest of all sapphire colors in its unprocessed form.
