Message Is not the gemstone sapphire. Could be very poor quality lapis lazuli. Do web search for "Chinese blue hardstone" to find objects of same hue and probably same stone. Yours look like brushwasher and carving at side could be used for brush rest. Considering all the inclusions and poorly finished carving, enjoy for color. Good luck, Cal Post a Response |
