Natural Sapphire Rough

Explore the natural beauty of Natural Sapphire Rough, valued for its distinctive colours, original crystal formations and potential for gemstone cutting.

Sapphire is a variety of corundum, a mineral composed of aluminium oxide. Although blue is its best-known colour, natural sapphires also occur in yellow, pink, purple, green and other colour variations.
