Two larger dark blue Sapphires on matrix with very good sides; Depending on the lighting, purple areas of the Corundum are also visible; the larger crystal with a very good end face, but slightly below on the side with a small crystallization defect. The special feature of Zazafotsy Sapphires is that, like Ruby, they fluoresce bright red under UV long.

The Corundum crystals embedded in the matrix are mixed crystals that, depending on the iron, chromium or titanium content, appear in colors from dark blue to violet to red (Sapphire --> Ruby). This is why even dark blue Sapphires still fluoresce bright red under UV light, which pure Sapphires from other locations do not.
