Sydney, Australia – 6 September 2023. TVSN introduces the Queensland Sapphire this week during their sapphire miniseries event in celebration of September’s birthstone of the month from 4-8 September 2023.
In this sapphire miniseries instalment, TVSN celebrates the rare and beautiful Queensland Sapphire and will be shining the spotlight on this mesmerising beauty that boasts a rich history.
Here are TVSN’s top eight (8) facts about Queensland Sapphires:
- Queensland Sapphires are known for their deep, rich midnight blue colour and exceptional transparency which are carefully faceted to maximise their brilliance and lustre.
- Queensland Sapphires offer eye-clean clarity which makes them incredibly attractive and popular with jewellers and jewellery collectors.
- Most Queensland Sapphires are blue and range from pastel blue to midnight blue.
- Queensland Sapphire crystals range in size from a grain of sand to the size of a pea, typically yielding small accent gems to two-carat gemstones.
- Recent mining endeavours in Queensland's remote Central Highlands Region, particularly at the Anakie Gem Fields, have reignited global interest in Queensland Sapphires.
- The rarest and most valuable of the Queensland Sapphire is the Wattle Queensland Sapphire. They only represent approximately less than three percent of Australian Sapphire.
- FURA Gems, a leading global gemstone company that has acquired mining operations in Queensland is actively working to revive the Queensland Sapphire market and support local communities through various initiatives, highlighting responsible and environmentally conscious practices.
- In the late 80s, Australia was the world's leading producer of Sapphires, supplying 70% of the global market.
