N2. A 114.74-carat Unmounted Burmese Sapphire – $7,223,285
When it was sold at Sotheby’s auction in Geneva on November 2013 it broke the world record for the highest priced Burmese sapphire.
Can you imagine that?
This exceptional Burmerse “Royal Blue” sapphire piece has a weight of 114.74, a jewelry fit for a princess or a queen.
The piece has no indications of heating, and its color is due to a combination of well-balanced trace elements in the gemstone, typical and characteristic for the finest sapphires of Mogok, Burma.
This sapphire has been perfectly cut from the rough crystal to show its color at its best.
A natural sapphire from Burma of this size and quality is very rare and exceptional and thus can be considered a true treasure of nature.
