Description:A classic, doubly terminated, blue to purple sapphire from Sri Lanka. This gemmy and lustrous, flattened cutie has textbook hexagonal form, is well-striated and has excellent, typically pronounced, stepped-growth faces. The color centers are also interesting! The smaller crystal "arms" and pretty purple tinting are nifty features. Complete all-around, a bit of edgewear on the back is out of sight. Highly representative of the famous deposits at Ratnapura. You dont see many of these around anymore. 13.4 carats.
