Beautiful

This rough piece of a purple sapphire impresses with its natural, unadulterated crystal form and the fine grain along the surface. The slightly prismatic structure bears witness to the typical formation in the hexagonal crystal system and gives the stone an archaic presence. When backlit, the sapphire reveals its inner luminosity: an intense violet-pink seems to emanate from within, which compellingly underlines the stone's dense yet translucent quality. A fascinating piece for connoisseurs of untreated gemstones – powerful, original, and full of depth.
