An impressive and almost completely gemmy light yellow Sapphire crystal from Sri Lanka. As is typical with these, the ends are cleaner than the center and are perfectly fine as gem rough - they are entirely clean in fact. What likely saved this piece from being immediately cut is how well formed and sharp the crystal itself is - very rare among the alluvial finds in Sri Lanka. The crystal is superbly formed (look at those fine terminations on each end!) and extrememly lustrous. A gorgeous specimen that would be a great collection piece or is absolutely usable in jewelry. One of the best we have seen in this color and size.
