75 Ct Natural Yellow Sapphire Rough — Sri Lanka
This is a 75 carat piece of natural yellow sapphire rough from Sri Lanka, left uncut and showing the warm golden-yellow color of the crystal in its raw state. Rough of this size gives a lapidary real freedom: depending on the internal clarity and color zoning, a piece like this can be planned for a single large faceted stone or divided into several smaller gems.
Sri Lanka has long been recognized as a source of fine sapphire in a wide range of colors, and buying rough directly lets cutters and designers control the final shape, proportions, and yield. It is also a natural choice for collectors who appreciate the crystal in its original form.
Sapphire ranks 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond, so the finished stones will be highly durable for jewelry. As with all rough, the final yield and quality depend on the cutter's assessment of the individual piece.
