0.51 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From deep within the verdant hills of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, emerges a story encased in crystalline allure. It is in this breathtaking locale, renowned since antiquity for its bounty of gemstones, where our exquisite blue sapphire was born. Submerged in the mystique of earth’s deepest layers, this precious gem was patiently sculpted by time and nature’s meticulous hand. The stones that form in these rich soils are admired for their unmatched clarity and mesmerizing hues, defining a legacy of gemstone crafting that has been revered throughout generations. As sunlight filtered through dense forest canopies above, it infused these grounds with energies that would transform raw earth into treasures unparalleled in their allure.

At its emergence from beneath the forests of Ceylon, our 0.51 carat blue sapphire revealed a dimension that captivates even the most discerning gem lovers. Its oval shape, polished to perfection, gleams softly with a transparency as clear as a mountain spring. With dimensions of 5.99 x 4.09 x 2.74 mm, this gem illustrates elegance on a scale both grand and intimate. The mixed brilliant cut refracts light with a dazzling dance of colors, drawing eyes into its depths where dreams seem to swirl in cobalt skies. Very slight inclusions, those endearing marks of nature’s unique fingerprint, whisper tales of journeys through eons, enhancing rather than detracting from its mystical appeal.

Compared to the profound blues of the famed Kashmir sapphires or the luminescent ocean-like clarity of the stones from Madagascar, this Sri Lankan treasure holds its own vibrant narrative. It exudes a medium color intensity that stands in harmonious contrast to the more saturated hues of Burmese counterparts, offering a subtler, yet equally enchanting, depth. Visitors to our showcase, The Natural Sapphire Company, often discover a unique serenity in this sapphire’s tone—a reflective reminder of the tranquil landscapes from whence it came and of the artisans who have polished such gems into existence throughout centuries of craftsmanship.
