0.54 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Formed deep within the earth over millions of years, this exquisite blue sapphire is a testament to the natural beauty and time-honored craftsmanship intrinsic to high-quality gemstones. Weighing 0.54 carats, this transparent pear-shaped sapphire measures 6.39 mm in length, 4.02 mm in width, and 2.72 mm in depth. Harvested from Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, this gem hails from a region renowned for producing some of the finest sapphires in the world. Its formation under tremendous pressure and heat has resulted in a stunning gemstone that exhibits an intense dark color, a hallmark of premium sapphire sourced from this locale.

The creation of this gem is rooted in geologic processes that span epochs. Rich mineral conditions within the ancient tectonic activity of Sri Lanka set the stage for crystalline growth deep beneath the earth's crust. Over time, the specific conditions of temperature, pressure, and the presence of aluminum oxide allowed for the crystallization of corundum, the mineral from which sapphires are formed. Non-stop geological dynamism brought this crystalline treasure closer to the earth’s surface, where it was expertly extracted.

The structural elegance and visual appeal of this sapphire are enhanced to perfection through a mixed brilliant cut, ensuring that its facets play with light to create scintillating brilliance. The precision of the cutting technique ensures that every curve and line is symmetrical, optimizing both its aesthetic allure and value. With a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated meticulously at eye level, it possesses a near-immaculate internal structure, free from any noticeable inclusions that might otherwise mar its intrinsic beauty.

This sapphire's excellent polish speaks to superior craftsmanship, a standard we hold in high esteem at The Natural Sapphire Company. Each facet of the sapphire has been painstakingly hand-finished by master lapidarists who understand the nuances of gemstones to a scientific and artistic degree. These craftsmen ensure that the luster and transparency of the sapphire are maximized, rendering a surface that is smooth and reflective akin to a mirror. They take into account not only the material qualities of the stone but also its ability to captivate through its shimmering depth and intensity of color.
