Item Description

Sri Lanka sapphires set the standard for form and quality of the species and this is an excellent example. This gemmy doubly terminated crystal has a variable cornflower-blue body with yellow tips. The typically layered crystal has lightly frosted faces. 37.52 carats. Valued at $1000. Not too many of this size and quality on the market these days. They are all heated, cut, and sold to the crazy Chinese market that is buying up as much as they can
