One of the most rare and expensive furs, the finest Sable is found almost exclusively in the Soviet Union. Even today the export of pelts is limited and the export of live animals is forbidden. Each pelt is extremely light, long and narrow. Crown Sable is brown with a blue cast. The Golden Sable has an amber tone. Look for soft, deep fur in dark lustrous brown with silky dark hairs. The finest Sables have a silvery hair dispersed throughout the Sable.
