The most coveted sapphires in history came from the Kashmir region of the Himalayas, discovered in 1881 after a landslide exposed the deposit at over 4,500 metres altitude. Mined for barely two decades before the deposit was largely exhausted, genuine Kashmir sapphires now command prices at auction that rival the world's finest diamonds — their velvety, unheated blue considered the unrepeatable standard of perfection.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"_p_1iy4o_107\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eTo wear sapphire is to wear the colour of everything humanity has ever looked up toward and called sacred.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[],"url":"https:\/\/yourcrystalweb.com\/collections\/zafir.oembed","provider":"YourCrystal","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
