Description

Greek sapphires are very rare and have never been seen in such well-formed crystals before until recently that I acquired a large chunk of plumasite rock that have dozens of crystals embedded in it. After a lot of hard work, I managed to retrieve some specimens and here is an example with several crystals on matrix. This is extremely rare material that cannot be found anywhere else on the market and highly priced by Greek collectors. I decided to risk this one at auction!
