All auctions / Ethnographical / Natural rough sapphire with intense blue tones - 64.80 ct, from Kenya- 12.96 g
This natural rough sapphire shows itself in a powerful, primal form with impressive color variety. Deep blue, petrol-colored and greenish zones run through the transparent to translucent crystal material and are accentuated by warm, earthy inclusions. Depending on the incidence of light, different depths of color and reflective surfaces unfold, giving the piece a lively, almost flowing radiance. The irregular fracture structure and the natural growth characteristics emphasize the authentic character of this sapphire and make every detail easy to understand. Visually, the piece appears both raw and fascinatingly complex – an impressive example of the mineral's original beauty. In the stone tradition, sapphire is associated with clarity, inner alignment, and spiritual depth. Its calm, concentrated radiance fits particularly well with collections that combine natural power, earth-connectedness, and timeless elegance. Weight: 64.80 ct Size: 36x12x10 mm Origin: Kenya Treatment: Untreated / Unheated The lots were photographed under professional lights.
