This double terminated Sapphire crystal has amazing color, transparency and luster. It has two single terminated "sidecar," crystals alongside it which adds contrast and character.

The primary crystal is free of any damage. On one termination there is a very small contact (less than 1 mm) where another sapphire crystal had once grown (south side of the first pic). Overall this 18 carat super blue sapphire is a fine example for any collection.
