Sapphire

Item Description

For the most part, good matrix specimens of Corundum are not easy to find from any world locality. Here we have a good matrix Sapphire specimen that came out of Pakistan around 2012. The locality at Ganesh is one of the oldest and more renown Sapphire/Ruby localities in the world, and has long produced some amazing specimens. The main crystal on this specimen is a sharp, lustrous, well formed, translucent prism exhibiting a purple color aesthetically sitting atop Calcite matrix. The crystal measures 7 mm, but it's not 100% complete, as it was partially contacted during the collecting process. I haven't seen many specimens of this material on the market in recent years, so I was happy to have this piece to offer. These specimens are not coming out nearly as frequently as they have in the past, and the top pieces are definitely commanding very high prices on the market today, as are all fine matrix Sapphires specimens from all world localities.
