All auctions / Ethnographical / Natural sapphire – Rough crystals on matrix - 288.05 ct- 57.61 g


An exceptional collectible featuring several distinctly developed natural sapphire crystals that stand out prominently from the light matrix. The crystals display intense blue, violet, and indigo tones, creating a strong contrast with the white and dark glossy accompanying minerals. Particularly appealing is the sapphire's partial translucence. When illuminated from the back, the crystals are traversed by a bright, glowing blue and reveal their inner color zoning and structure. The visible crystal faces and the partially preserved natural crystal form give the piece a particularly original character. The contrasts in the matrix with white patches, black to dark brown minerals, and isolated gold-brown areas make the overall specimen visually very diverse. In gem therapy, sapphire has traditionally been regarded as the stone of clarity, concentration, and inner calm. It is believed to promote mental focus and a clear view of what is essential. A characterful natural sapphire mineral specimen in which the strong color, the visible crystals, and their impressive effect when backlit stand out.
