Natural royal blue sapphire on matrix. 254.70 ct from Kenya- 50.94 g

An impressive collectible: a deep blue sapphire crystal, firmly embedded in its natural glimmer shale matrix. The crystal shows a clear prismatic formation with fine transparency and fascinating play of color, which reveals its luminosity in direct light. Particularly impressive is the intense blue with violet nuances, which is further accentuated by the dark, high-contrast matrix. The surface of the matrix is richly textured and interwoven with shiny mica plates, giving the piece additional vitality. The sapphire itself reveals, when illuminated from behind, its inner purity and the fascinating shine that makes these gemstones so sought after. A characterful specimen that unites the raw power of nature with the elegance of the gemstone – a focal point for both mineral collectors and lovers of exceptional crystal formations.
