| DESCRIPTION: |
Cornflower Blue to Bluish Green Sapphire Faceting & Cabbing Rough from Kenya! The material overall is almost entirely alluvial and well shaped for high yield. The lot is a mix of Faceting and Cabbing grade with much of the material having a milky haze reminiscent of "Gouda" Sapphires. This looks like an ideal lot to experiment on with heat treatment as it is from a fairly new deposit and I don't really know anyone else who has been offering this material as rough. There are a few stones in the parcel that could be cut as-is and we're confident that those alone warrant the price on the parcel; however, the true potential on this parcel lies with treatment. As a whole the material is generally a Royal to Dark Kashmir Blue with many stones having the Greenish overtone down one axis and some stones having color banding common for Corundum. We have NEVER seen this material in the market previously and we don't really anticipate on getting more so don't miss your chance to pick this up. |
