Description
Ceylon is renowned worldwide for producing some of the finest sapphires, and among its rarest treasures are natural crystal specimens that preserve the untouched beauty of corundum. Here we present a unique couple of double terminated sapphire crystals: a 7.60 carat blue sapphire crystal paired with a 9.00 carat white sapphire crystal, both sourced from the gem-rich lands of Rakwana village around mining in Sri Lanka.
The blue sapphire crystal measures 19.6 x 8.2 x 5.5 mm and exhibits a natural bipyramidal double termination, showcasing the raw hexagonal structure that sapphire crystals are famous for. Its blue body color, even with natural inclusions, highlights the untouched authenticity of a natural crystal. Alongside it, the white sapphire crystal—measuring 18.9 x 9.1 x 6.9 mm—presents a beautiful frosted appearance with equally sharp double terminations, making this pair a remarkable collector’s item.
Both crystals are 100% natural and unheated, maintaining their original form since their creation deep within the earth millions of years ago. With clarity levels in the included range, they are preserved in their raw state rather than polished for faceting, elevating them as jewelry-grade collectible crystals rather than cutting material. Collectors of rare mineral specimens value such complete crystal formations for their scientific significance, rarity, and natural beauty.
This crystal couple is ideal for serious collectors, museums, or jewelry designers who wish to preserve the raw form of corundum as a reminder of its journey from the earth. Every rough or crystal we present at City of Gem is carefully selected at the source to guarantee authenticity and natural origin.
