Item Description
A super 8-piece deal of gemmy, doubly terminated sapphire crystals. Seven of the crystals have desirable variable cornflower-blue color and one is yellow. These classic, striated and tapered stepped-growth Ratnapura crystals have excellent gemminess, fine color and good luster. One is a highly unusual compound crystal composed of 4 crystals! All are pristine. A very fine older 8-piece collection from these deposits. Most such crystals are all heated, cut, and sold to the crazy Chinese market that is buying up as much as they can. 70 carats or 14 grams total mass. BETTER IN PERSON!
