Natural sapphire – Rough crystals on matrix - 288.05 ct- 57.61 g

An extraordinary collectible item with several clearly formed natural sapphire crystals that prominently protrude from the bright matrix. The crystals display intense blue, violet, and indigo tones and create a strong contrast to the white as well as the dark, glossy accompanying minerals. Particularly appealing is the partial translucency of the sapphire. When illuminated from behind, the crystals are threaded with a vivid blue and reveal their inner color zoning and structure. The visible crystal facets and the partly preserved natural crystal form give the piece a particularly original character. The contrasting matrix with white patches, black to dark brown minerals, and individual golden-brown areas makes the entire specimen visually very varied. In crystal healing, sapphire has traditionally been regarded as the stone of clarity, concentration, and inner calm. It is said to promote mental focus and a clear view of what is essential. A characterful natural sapphire mineral specimen, where especially the strong color, the visible crystals, and their impressive effect under transmitted light stand out.
