In 1995, the Millennium Sapphire® was discovered in Madagascar, an island nation located off the southeastern coast of Africa. Designated a national treasure, the initial value reported in the local press was between US$90 and US$500 million.  After leaving Madagascar, the sapphire was examined by the Asia Institute of Gemological Sciences (AIGS) in Bangkok, Thailand, and was given its certificate of identification. The AIGS staff had some of the first glimpses of the enormous gemstone.  One staff member’s reaction was a stunning look, a pointed finger at the large blue mass, followed by, “Is that sapphire?”

The Millennium Sapphire® is a 12.3 kg natural sapphire that was carved as a tribute to the creative genius of humanity. Valued at US$150 million, it is among the most valuable and renowned gemstones and works of art in the world.
