Madagascar has been a major source of sapphires since the late 1990s and produces a wide range of gem-quality corundum.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"609\" data-end=\"958\"\u003eThese sapphires form under high-temperature geological conditions in \u003cstrong data-start=\"678\" data-end=\"726\"\u003emetamorphic rocks or basalt-related deposits\u003c\/strong\u003e. Over time, erosion releases the durable crystals into alluvial gravels where they are mined. Rough sapphire is widely used by gem cutters and lapidaries who wish to facet or study the natural structure of the stone before cutting.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eChemical Composition\u003c\/strong\u003e: Al₂O₃\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eSmall\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 14mm x 13mm x 10mm\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 4g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eMedium\u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 12mm x 10mm x 9mm\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 3g\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLarge \u003cbr\u003eApproximate Size of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 8mm x 7mm x 7mm\u003cb\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cb\u003eApproximate Weight of 1 Piece\u003c\/b\u003e: 1.5g\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity\u003c\/strong\u003e:\u003cstrong\u003e \u003c\/strong\u003e1pc\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eWe do our best to buy quality products- although not every rock is the same.
