Re: Help identify this sapphire (could be sth else) piece |

Message John, If you and your family are gem dealers, you ought to be moderating discussions of gemstones in this forum instead of asking someone else to comment on a photo of a piece of apparently amorphous watery blue rock. I lived in Burma for a number of years and knew one of the most respected families of Shan gem merchants and manufacturers in the country. The closest thing I ever saw to this was masses of small pink ruby crystals in a natural quartz matrix which had been dynamited out of a 'private' mine somewhere in the Mogok area. Judging from what I know of the value of that related material, a half-way good piece of carved lapis is worth a lot more than what you've shown us here. Good luck, Bill H. Post a Response |
