Gem hunter claims world's largest pink sapphire in NC
Ker mit Martin, 43, a gem hunter in Bryson City, says he found what may be the world's largest pink sapphire and the nation's largest ruby in Cowee Valley, western North Carolina. The sapphire weighs 14 ounces, measures three by five inches, and could exceed 2,000 carats after cutting. The ruby, 10 ounces heavier, shows flaws not seen in the sapphire and weighs about 0.3421 carats rough. Martin, a master gem cutter, plans immediate work on the ruby and will study the sapphire for at least six months, gambling on the eventual value of the stones.
