A natural sapphire cabochon from Burma showing a vivid blue body color set against its original white marble host rock. This type of marble-hosted sapphire is characteristic of the famous Mogok region, where sapphires crystallize within calcite and feldspar-rich metamorphic rock. The polished cabochon highlights the contrast between the sapphire and its marble matrix, making it both a collector’s specimen and a unique option for custom jewelry. Burmese sapphires are highly prized for their rich color and historic provenance in the gem trade.
