COMMENTS
This stunning royal blue sapphire is very bright and well cut. There is a small fingerprint towards one corner which is difficult to see with the naked eye and does not diminish the beauty of the stone. This shape is easily set into a variety of designs, and could be used as the hero stone in a ring or pendant.
Commercial quantities of sapphire have been mined for more than 100 years in numerous locations situated along the Great Dividing Range in Eastern Australia, from Tasmania to North Queensland. Major commercial deposits occur in the New England District in northern NSW – Inverell and Glen Innes – and the Central Queensland Gemfields – Anakie, Sapphire, Rubyvale and The Willows, as well as Lava Plains in North Queensland. Besides professional operations, there are many part-time artisanal hand miners and hobby fossickers on the Gemfields.
DURABILITY
Sapphire’s high hardness – 9 on Mohs scale – and its excellent durability render it ideal for most types of jewellery settings.
