these are just mine run sapphires--nothing special --not graded or anything but could easily find a nice one to cut---come in all sorts of colors ---gives you an idea of what to watch for in the sluice box when you're dredging if you're in an area that has sapphires

this one is the one in the middle of the picture above --just to give you a size
