0.40 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the verdant landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, where the cerulean skies kiss emerald forests and rivers weave through terraces of lush green tea farms, rests a hidden treasure waiting patiently to be discovered. This extraordinary land, rich in culture and history, shelters within its warm embrace a myriad of natural wonders, among which the resplendent blue sapphire reigns supreme. Here, nature effortlessly spins its own tales, nurturing precious gemstones in the depths of its earthly womb. Amidst this tapestry of beauty arose a particularly exquisite creation—our 0.40 carat pear-shaped blue sapphire.

Lovingly extracted from the storied depths of Ceylon's fertile grounds, this sapphire captures the enchanting azure hues reminiscent of the sapphire skies that arch above the island. Its mixed brilliant cut dances with a plethora of sparks, akin to sunlight skipping across the tranquil waters of Lake Kandy. The intensity of its blue is captivatingly vivid, conjuring images of twilight merging almost seamlessly with the oncoming night. It's a shade of blue that rivals Kashmir sapphires in its dreamy depth while evoking the serene clarity found only in Burmese sapphires. Yet, unlike their counterparts, Ceylon sapphires possess an inherent ethereal lightness, rooted in the clarity of its stones—this very translucency gracing the gemstone with an unparalleled elegance.

The Natural Sapphire Company takes pride in offering this blue sapphire. Its slightly included clarity invites wonder and ignites the curiosity over the ages it has traversed. It carries with it whispers of ancient winds and the vibrant essence of hundreds of monsoon rains, each droplet polishing its surface to a gleaming mirror. The excellent polish achieved by our master craftsmen further accentuates its natural allure, coaxing forth an endless gleaming glow that is both stark and gentle, commanding yet subtle.

As it makes its journey from the mosaic hues of Sri Lanka's lush tapestries to the hands of appreciative connoisseurs, the sapphire becomes not just a stone but a story. Through The Natural Sapphire Company, it finds a home and a new narrative to join. Whether cradled within a delicate setting or displayed proudly, this gem distinguishes itself by drawing upon centuries of Earth’s history, inviting the beholder to embrace a connection as deep and as enduring as the very ground from which it emerged.
