The sapphire deposits of Kashmir are still well known in the gem industry,[38] despite the fact that the peak production from this area mostly took place in a relatively short period at the end of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.[39] Kashmir-origin contributes meaningfully to the value of a sapphire, and most corundum of Kashmir origin can be readily identified by its characteristic silky appearance and exceptional hue.[40] At present, the world record price-per-carat for sapphire at auction was achieved by a sapphire from Kashmir in a ring, which sold for $180,731 per carat (more than $5 million in total, including buyer's premium) in April 2014
