Yesterday I brought you a big beautiful green tsavorite, today let's look at the largest natural blue sapphire in the United States. This stone was cut from a 129 carat rough which was found in Sri Lanka in 1952. It was originally cut into an 80-carat stone and sold. It has been cut down to 69.53 carats in an effort to improve the light and color reflection and create a better shape. It is for sale for $417,000. It's a bit large for a ring but would be beautiful set in a pendant with diamonds, citrines or spessartite garnets.Largest Natural Sapphire For Sale in the U.S.

I have bought from http://www.TheNaturalSapphireCompany.com before. Their sales team are very knowledgeable and very patient. They answered every question I had and then some. My wife wanted an engadgement ring different than just an ordinary diamond. The ring we got with a 2 sapphires surrounding the diamond is the talk of all our friends. And the price was low enough that our friends who just got engaged are bying from them too.
