Sapphire (multicolor set)

Item Description

The famous quote from John Sinkankas was "gems are minerals after all". In our continued efforts to promote the importance of gemstones for ALL collectors, we want to give mineral collectors a chance at a rare cut stone that complements a choice mineral specimen from a classic locality. Some of the finest mineral collections in the world are accompanied by gemstones that either complete a "rough and cut" set for certain specimens, or simply show the beauty of particular species when they are faceted. We are offering this stone as an opportunity for collectors to expand their horizons and purchase gemstones that would supplement crystallized specimens in their collections. I think it is important for collectors to know that faceted stones can expand one's interests in minerals and can add a certain reverence to the hobby of collecting minerals. Sapphires occur in virtually every color of the rainbow. This set features 13 different color Sri Lankan "Round" cut Sapphire stones, most of which are eye clean clarity, though a few are very slightly included. There are blue, yellow, pink and even rarely seen green stones in this set! The stones could be set into a bracelet creating a dazzling array of color, or simply left in the box as a tribue to the many hues of Sapphire.
