Item Description

Here we have a beautiful 3-stone set of attractive rich blue colored Sapphires from Sri Lanka. The stones have nearly eye-clean clarity with "Round" cuts. For the size, they have good saturation of color. A nice set that would make good accent stones in a ring or pendant.
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
