Description

Burma Corundum
Dattaw-pyant & Dattaw-chaung, Dattaw-taung (Dattaw hill)
Mogok Valley, Mogok Township, Pyin-Oo-Lwin District, Mandalay Region
Myanmar

From the legendary Mogok Valley-renowned for producing some of the world's finest Corundum-this striking specimen features conjoined, naturally lustrous crystals in a rare and vibrant array of hues. Exhibiting a full spectrum of color zoning, the piece displays shades of blue, purple, pink, and orangey-yellow, making it a remarkable example of multi-color Sapphire in its natural form. The surfaces are glossy and well-formed, with the crystal faces reflecting light beautifully even without polishing. This specimen is particularly notable for its aesthetic appeal as well as its provenance from one of the most storied gem-producing regions on Earth.
Measurements: 2.50 x 2.25 x 1.50 inches (6.35 x 5.72 x 3.81 cm)

Provenance: Property of a Distinguished Southern California Collector, Ex. Will Heierman Collection
