0.32 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Long before human hands learned to cut and cherish its brilliance, this blue sapphire began its story deep within the earth, born of pressures and temperatures that prevailed millions of years ago. In ancient times, tectonic plates collided and folded, forcing silica rich rocks and aluminum bearing minerals into a crucible of transformation. Under that immense weight and heat, trace amounts of iron and titanium threaded into a lattice of corundum, and over geologic epochs those mineral seeds matured into a gemstone of remarkable depth and character. Weathering and the slow action of rivers liberated these crystals from their host rocks, carrying them through ancient valleys to sites where miners in Ceylon, Sri Lanka discovered them. Each facet of this sapphire therefore carries the memory of time, a compact chronicle of earth processes and the patient sculpting of nature that appeals to collectors who prize legacy and continuity.

Presenting a transparent 0.32 carat cushion shape blue sapphire, with dimensions 4.69 x 4.12 x 2.07 mm, the gem has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and depth. Its clarity grade is slightly included as evaluated at eye level, offering reassurance that this is a natural, untouched treasure, one that has not undergone enhancement, retaining its original character. The color reads with a dark intensity that commands attention, and the excellent polish ensures each facet catches light with an elegant flash. This is a sapphire that speaks to tradition, a gem suited for heirloom pieces and designs that honor classical lines and enduring taste.
