***Bringing you the very finest minerals ebay has to offer!!***


Corundum var. Sapphire

Pelham, Hampshire Co., Massachusetts

7cm x 4.2cm x 3cm

Ex. Frank W. Hess Collection No. 169


Description/Interesting Notes:

A terrific, old time example of sapphire from Massachusetts!!! This specimen hosts a large, complex crystal of light blue sapphire on a darkly colored schist matrix!!! The sapphire has marked luster, slight translucence, and powder-blue color!!! Upon close inspection, it appears that the sapphire has a slight degree of chatoyance on the c-axis as well!!! This specimen retains an old label from the Frank W. Hess collection!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!! MORE AUCTIONS WILL BE ADDED SATURDAY NIGHT FOR A SPECIAL 5-DAY AUCTION, ENDING THURSDAY DECEMBER 16th!!!
