Description:An excellent 3-piece deal of different colored, classic sapphires from the famous gem deposits of Ratnapura, Sri Lanka. All three crystals are gemmy and lustrous and have textbook hexagonal form, tapered shape and pronounced stepped-growth faces. The rare, desirable, gorgeous pink crystal has vivid color and is contacted at the base, but has no damage, per se. The blue crystal is doubly terminated, has classic, baby-blue color and is pristine. The large crystal is doubly terminated, has super-minute termination wear on one end and is variably coloress, with hints of yellow. A striking and desirable trio. These are classic Ratnapura crystals. You do not see very many of these on the market anymore. Very representative of the species and locality. 25.48 carats total weight or just over 5 grams.
