A bright and sparkly yellow sapphire from the aptly named “Swiss Bank” mine in Ilakaka, Madagascar.
The sapphires from Madagascar are some of the finest in the world, comparable only to Sri Lankan material.
While this is classified as a yellow, there are a few hints of blue when the gem moves, which are wonderful to observe!
