A rough sapphire refers to an uncut, unpolished, and untreated form of the gemstone sapphire. Sapphires are precious gemstones belonging to the corundum family, and they are typically blue in color, although they can occur in various hues except red (red corundum is classified as a ruby).
When a sapphire is mined from the earth, it is in its natural state, which is rough and lacks the smooth, polished appearance that is commonly associated with gemstones in jewelry. The rough sapphire undergoes a series of processes to enhance its appearance and bring out its desirable characteristics. These processes include cutting, shaping, and polishing.
Rough sapphires can vary in size, shape, and color. The cutting and polishing of the rough stone are crucial steps in the gemstone industry, as they determine the final appearance and quality of the sapphire. Once cut and polished, sapphires can be set into various types of jewelry, including rings, earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. The beauty and value of a sapphire are often influenced by factors such as color, clarity, cut, and carat weight
