Songea Sapphire

Songea Sapphire is named after its location in Songea, Tanzania, East Africa.

First discovered in the early 1990s, the sapphires of Songea occur in a vivid rainbow of hues.

The sapphires found in Songea can display truly astonishing color change that rival the famous Alexandrite, with some fine rough appearing reddish purple in fluorescent lighting and violetish blue to green in natural light. Combined with impressive eye-visible pleochroism, these precious gems are veritable chameleons when cut.

Those fortunate enough to acquire these stunning sapphires will possess an exceptional addition to their gemstone collection.
