Description

Greek Sapphires are extremely rare and have never been seen before in such well-formed crystals. These specimens originate from a single specimen that I acquired from an old collection and that I have clean, trimmed and exposed its crystals, creating collector's grade specimens.

This is a representative example with a group of crystals on one side of the matrix, the largest of which measures 1.6cm across!
