A rather GLASSY, fine quality Sapphire crystal from one of the most classic localities in the world for the Corundum variety. This gemmy, very sharp, notably lustrous, doubly termi nated, striated, "floater", hexagonal Sapphire crystal has a mostly blue interior, with slight yellow zones. It is pristine on all sides and absolutely water-clear in about 50% of the crystal. I must stress how lustrous it is because the photos don’t show it as well as I would like. For the quality, this would make a nice addition to any thumbnail suite, or a small gem crystal collection. As I said, it was somewhat difficult to photograph and is gemmier than the photos might indicate. Specimen# GEMXL71511 Show more
