This material comes from a high-alpine occurrence originally discovered by the late Canadian prospector Herb Hyder, a great friend of mine. Rock Rush now owns the claim and hand-mined and supplied this specimen from this remote location.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis raw mineral specimen features striking sapphire crystals hosted on a pale, contrasting light-green \u003cspan\u003echrysotile-antigorite\u003c\/span\u003e matrix. The sapphires in this specimen range in colour and\/or display distinct color zoning, including shades of icy blue to soft pink. This rough crystal specimen looks great from all angles and features well-defined crystalline structures with stepped crystal faces and unique natural surface etching. Under ultraviolet light, the corundum in this specimen glows with a soft pink fluorescence, explaining the pink undertones in this blue sapphire, as it has chromium-bearing geochemistry. The sapphire crystal in this specimen measures approximately 7 x 5 mm. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0,0\"\u003eWeight: 5 grams\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,1,0\"\u003eDimensions: 20 x 18 x 9 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,1,0\"\u003eThis specimen ships in a small specimen jar with a label to keep it protected and categorized in your collection. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fireweed Minerals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":71724463587581,"sku":"Speci048","price":125.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0842\/4341\/5293\/files\/DSC00685.jpg?v=1793162584","url":"https:\/\/fireweedminerals.ca\/products\/parti-sapphire-specimen-20-x-18-x-9-mm-from-british-columbia-canada","provider":"Fireweed Minerals","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
