Corundum var. Sapphire Pelham, Hampshire Co., Massachusetts 7cm x 4.2cm x 3cm Ex. Frank W. Hess Collection No. 169

Description/Interesting Notes: A terrific, old time example of sapphire from Massachusetts!!! This specimen hosts a large, complex crystal of light blue sapphire on a darkly colored schist matrix!!! The sapphire has marked luster, slight translucence, and powder-blue color!!! Upon close inspection, it appears that the sapphire has a slight degree of chatoyance on the c-axis as well!!! This specimen retains an old label from the Frank W. Hess collection!!! The pics hardly do it justice!!! Good luck and be sure to check out my other exciting mineral auctions on ebay!!! STAY TUNED!!!
