Rusty King Sapphire retains its original crystal hexagonal shape and is polished perpendicular to the C-axis as seen in the picture. The coloration is "rusty" due to oxidation and the coloration is a brownish orangy red hue. Grayish areas resembling "twinning" is observed. The specimen looks like a "pulled tooth" weighing a gigantic 220 carats! An absolute stunner for the rockhound collector! |
