0.42 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of Sri Lanka, known historically as Ceylon, a serene land where rich history interlaces with pristine nature, our captivating 0.42 carat blue sapphire began its journey. Nestled amidst lush verdant landscapes and beneath clear azure skies, this remarkable stone was formed millions of years ago, under the most precise geological conditions. The mineral-rich soil, unique to Ceylon, imparted this sapphire with its medium intense color— a blue that resonates with the depth of twilight skies over the Indian Ocean. Its unenhanced, natural state stands as a testament to its origin, promising purity and authenticity. This sapphire, with dimensions of 5.20 x 3.76 x 2.28 mm, emerged from the earth as a symbol of nature’s unwavering artistry.
