Cris-crossing blue and pink Sapphire crystals. For my tastes, this is the best specimen I've yet seen from this relatively new find of Sapphire crystals. Individual crystals reach nearly 3cm in length and are nicely translucent to transparent. The matrix is extremely hard; that and the fact that most are cut for gemstones makes finding good specimens from this locality diffcult.
