10.62 Ct.Tw.Total Carat Weight Blue Star Sapphire Pair from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

These twin star sapphires were born in the timeworn alluvial gravels of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where monsoon waters and ancient geology conspired to concentrate corundum in riverside beds, and where generations of miners have walked the same pathways in search of beauty, patience, and reward. From the moment a rough stone left the earth, its journey was marked by the slow alignment of needle like rutile that would one day create the celestial asterism so prized across cultures. Semi translucent and bearing a serene blue, these stones carry the quiet legacy of Sri Lankan gem lore, where stars in the sky and stars in the stone are celebrated as talismans of guidance and calm. As a salesperson with The Natural Sapphire Company I have seen how a well chosen star sapphire can connect a wearer to a place and a story, and these two stones speak of rainy season riverbeds, of hands that coaxed them free, and of the island traditions that have honored sapphires for centuries.

The transformation from rough to finished cabochon was undertaken to reveal and center a single sharp star on each gem, and the cut was chosen carefully to preserve weight and symmetry while maximizing asterism. The pair consists of an oval shaped blue star sapphire of 5.94 carats measuring 9.75 by 8.63 by 6.52 millimeters, and an oval shaped blue star sapphire of 4.68 carats measuring 9.90 by 8.70 by 4.88 millimeters. Both are cabochon cut, semi translucent, graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and they display intense color intensity with an excellent polish. There has been no enhancement to alter their natural state, the asterism is wholly natural, and the tactile smoothness of each dome reflects careful polishing to bring the star into crisp relief. Imagine these paired in a refined set of earrings or a matching pendant and ring, each piece carrying the provenance of Ceylon and the assurance of quality from The Natural Sapphire Company. If you wish to explore settings or to see these stones under different light to admire the moving star, I would be delighted to guide you through choices that honor the stones provenance and reveal their full celestial charm.
