0.36 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of time, where legends and dreams converge, sits a sapphire as resplendent as the tranquil sea at dawn's first light. This exquisite greenish-blue gem, delicate yet bold, has been lovingly sculpted into an asscher cut, its dimensions echoing the golden ratio that whispers divine secrets into the receptive ear of the universe. With a weight that belies its grandeur at 0.36 carats, this sapphire captures the essence of a hidden paradise, its surface polished to a mirror sheen, promising a glimpse into eternity.

Its hue, a mesmerizing dance of green and blue, evokes the serene waters that lap against the untouched shores of the Maldives under the soft caress of the early morning sun. In comparison to the sapphires from Madagascar, known for their deep indigo tones reminiscent of star-strewn cosmic expanses, this gem carries within it the vibrant whisper of tropical jungles lining a sun-drenched coast. One imagines it perched on the finger of a beloved, reflecting the intensity of a thousand sunsets captured in unwavering devotion.

The allure of this Ceylon gem—deemed slightly included only when scrutinized under the gaze of thorough examination—lies not in false perfection, but in the subtle imperfections that tell a tale of Earth's ancient kiss on its form. Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, where this marvel began its journey, has long been esteemed as the cradle of sapphires, where time itself seems to decelerate to allow nature to cast its meticulous spells. Here, in verdant valleys under azure skies, sapphires listen to centuries-old songs hummed by the earth.

Ceylon's sapphires stand alongside the fabled treasures of Kashmir, luminous and celestial as mists above serene mountain ranges, the midnight stones of Australia, as magnetic and profound as shadows draped over distant deserts, and the vibrant Burmese gems, fiery as sunsets casting their ruby glow over serene temples. Amidst such illustrious company, our jewel sings a different, gentle tune—one of calming seas and lush landscapes—crafted through millennia by the loving hands of nature itself.

At The Natural Sapphire Company, we understand this tumbling beauty, forever intrigued by its tangibility, its implicit promise of eternity. We take pride in offering the romantic soul a piece of the heavens, capturing the ephemeral and the everlasting. In the contours of its transparent octagonal form, we see love’s multifaceted nature mirrored, promising to accompany all who seek it on enchanting journeys through life’s uncharted waters. Such is the magic of our greenish-blue sapphire, a testament to the profound artistry of nature herself.
