The gem weighs about 310 kilograms or 1.5 million carats.
A giant sapphire weighing 310 kg was shown in Sri Lanka. Local authorities claim that this is the world's largest blue sapphire made from natural corundum. He was named “the queen of Asia”.
The stone was found about three months ago, and local gemologists call it one of the rarest gems in the world, Reuters reports. At the same time, international organizations have not yet certified it.
Recall that two diamond bracelets that once belonged to the Queen of France, Marie Antoinette, were sold at an auction in Switzerland for over eight million dollars.
