Twinned Blue Jay Sapphire Crystal – Revelstoke, British Columbia

This striking specimen features a naturally twinned sapphire crystal from the famed Blue Jay Mine near Revelstoke, BC. Known for its deep alpine origins and rugged terrain, this locality yields rare corundum crystals with unique characteristics. The crystal exhibits a distinct twinning habit, where two or more individual crystals have grown in symmetrical intergrowth—a hallmark of geological rarity.

The sapphire shows a vibrant steel-blue to navy hue with natural translucency when held to light. Its surfaces may display striations and subtle hexagonal growth patterns, with portions of the matrix rock often still attached, enhancing its authenticity and raw appeal. Twinning in sapphires is not only uncommon but adds considerable scientific and collector interest, as it reveals complex formation conditions under high pressure and temperature.

This piece is a stunning example of Canadian mineralogy and a must-have for collectors of rare corundum or North American gemstones.
