0.42 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the storied lands of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, lies a gem of extraordinary brightness and allure. Within its rugged landscapes, a single blue sapphire began its journey from the very depths of the earth. This journey would transform it into a treasure of immense rarity and distinction. Unearthed from ancient grounds rich in history and dreams, the rough sapphire was found nestled amidst layers of mineral wealth, hidden for millennia until skilled hands brought it to light. With expert precision, they extracted the sapphire that promised unmatched splendor with every facet that awaited revelation.

Swiftly then, the stone traversed the lush terrains from its point of origin, cradled carefully by hands that understood its true potential. Traveled paths that had once borne the weight of traders and travelers alike, paths that whispered tales of trails and triumphs. It journeyed to a workshop where tradition meets artistry, to be sculpted by master craftsmen who view each stone as a singular masterpiece waiting to come alive. Here, beneath the focused gaze of artisans from The Natural Sapphire Company, its character unfolded. Each incision was made with intention, carefully revealing a symphony of brilliant angles and perfect proportions. The sapphire resonated with the movements of skilled hands, resulting in a mixed brilliant cut that caught the light like a celestial dance.

This sapphire, weighing a mere 0.42 carats, emerged resplendently as a perfectly round gemstone. Its dimensions, a meticulous balance of 4.22 by 4.18 by 2.73 millimeters, underscore the precision of its craft. Although small, its vibrant hue speaks audaciously. Here lies not just a stone, but a deep blue fire reminiscent of moonlit waters. Its vivid color intensity is a brilliant beacon of Ceylon’s botanical blues, a chromatic chorus that whispers of luxury and nature’s magnificence. With its clarity, bearing only the subtlest whispers of inclusions visible to the perceptive eye, it’s a testament to a quality that embraces beauty while acknowledging the delicate balance of nature’s own imperfection.

Refined further, its excellent polish reduces the distance between itself and the light it reflects.
