Sapphire (3-stone set)

Item Description

A lovely 3-stone set of rich blue Sapphire gems from Sri Lanka. The stones are virtually eye-clean and have "Round Step" cuts. A good set for anyone looking for accent stones for a piece of jewelry, or little Sapphires to add to your collection.
These stones are from the estate of former Phoenix area dealer Marvin Rockey. Rockey's Gems was a significant business in the early days of Arizona lapidary material, and he was a prominent dealer and buyer in the Arizona area of local lapidary and carving material from throughout the state, including Bisbee, the Ray Mine, Miami mines, and the Peridot finds on Indian lands in the 1950s-1970s. This stone was kept back from the retail stock for its quality and beauty, in a tray of special material, and was found in his estate (sold to us only recently). Today, these are not only rarely seen but of a highly desirable old quality, and sought after by collectors and gem / jewelry enthusiasts alike.
