Natural sapphire – Rough crystals on matrix - 213.70 ct- 42.74 g

An exceptional collectible featuring several well-formed natural sapphire crystals that stand out starkly from the bright matrix. The crystals display intense blue, violet, and indigo hues, creating a strong contrast with the white and dark, glassy accompanying minerals. Particularly appealing is the sapphire's partial translucency. When illuminated from the back, the crystals are traversed by a powerful, glowing blue and reveal their internal color zoning and structure. The visible crystal faces 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 display visually unusually varied. In crystal healing, sapphire is traditionally regarded as a 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 display, in which especially the strong color, the visible crystals, and their impressive effect when viewed in transmitted light stand out.
