0.24 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the realm of gemstones, few can rival the allure and significance of sapphires. Each sapphire narrates its own story through its unique grading, clarity, and origin. Our exquisite 0.24 carat fancy shape blue sapphire is a splendid specimen that exemplifies remarkable craftsmanship. This gem, sourced from the illustrious sapphire mines of Ceylon, which today is known as Sri Lanka, stands resilient with dimensions of 3.97 x 3.38 x 2.54 mm. Its step cut is a testament to meticulous artisanship, bringing forth a subtle luminescence that accentuates its light color intensity. The sapphire’s very slightly included clarity grade ensures that its natural beauty remains unmarred when examined at eye level. A noteworthy feature of this sapphire is its excellent polish, a quality that is often reserved for the most superb of gemstones.

Historically, Ceylon sapphires have captured the fascination of royalty and gem connoisseurs alike. Our blue sapphire can be favorably compared to the infamous Star of India, renowned for its celestial blue hue and storied past. Like the Star of India, which once graced the collections of illustrious gem aficionados, this sapphire embodies both mystery and majesty. Its light color intensity is delicate yet distinct, creating a presence that commands admiration without overpowering the senses. The gem’s step cut, reminiscent of those seen in historical royal jewels, enhances its interior facets. This encourages a dance of light that is nothing short of enchanting, drawing the eye and holding it captive. Our blue sapphire thus echoes the timeless elegance of ancient treasures, offering modern buyers a chance to partake in a storied legacy.

The clarity within this sapphire, evaluated as very slightly included, speaks of an intriguing interior world. Such gems possess characteristics that endear them to knowledgeable buyers by proving their authenticity and natural creation. Minor inclusions, invisible to the unaided eye, whisper of geological history and mark each sapphire as a distinct artifact of the Earth’s formation processes. In comparison to historical jewels like the Logan Sapphire, known for its clarity and vibrant blue tones, our sapphire offers a similarly captivating view into the heart of its structure, albeit in a modestly-sized package.

Originating from Sri Lanka, known throughout history as the treasured land of exquisite sapphires, this gem holds an inherent value that is cherished among collectors and experts. Ceylon sapphires are celebrated for their range of blues, spanning from the softest cornflower to deeply pigmented hues. The Natural Sapphire Company proudly upholds the tradition of sourcing ethically and ensuring that each sapphire, including this elegant piece, meets rigorous standards of quality and provenance.
