USD 100 Mn offer for the world's largest natural corundum Blue Sapphire

World’s largest natural corundum Blue Sapphire gets USD 100 Mn offer A Dubai-based company has opted to purchase the world’s largest single natural corundum as a single crystal (Blue Sapphire) in the world, which was found in Sri Lanka last December, for USD 100 million (nearly LKR 20 billion).

 

The owner of the gemstone was unwilling to reveal the exact location of the gem deposit where it was discovered as it is still under exploration.

 

Gem Researcher Chamila Suranga, the founder of the Gemmological Institute of Ratnapura, which owns the stone, said they expect to offer this gemstone to an international buyer for the highest price.
