Parti-Sapphire - Australia

Australian Sapphire — a fine precision faceted example of the deep and complex colors that define sapphires from this region. Mined primarily in New South Wales and Queensland, Australian deposits are known for producing sapphires in a wide spectrum, often with unique green, blue, or parti-colored tones like this stone displays. These distinctive colors are the result of trace elements such as iron and titanium interacting within the corundum crystal structure. Australian sapphires have a long history in the trade, with mining dating back to the 19th century, and are valued today both for their beauty and their traceable origins. Stones showing this mix of green and blue, sometimes shifting in tone under different lighting, are especially sought after for their individuality.
