0.71 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Deep within the heart of the Earth's crust, over millions of years, a captivating journey began, one that would eventually bring forth a gemstone of extraordinary allure. This tale began in the lush, vibrant landscapes of Ceylon known today as Sri Lanka, a land famed for its rich repository of sapphires. Here in the hidden recesses of the earth, immense heat and pressure worked tirelessly, transforming the mineral-rich deposits into crystalline structures. Among these emerging treasures was an exceptional blue sapphire destined to become a part of The Natural Sapphire Company's exquisite collection.

Born from raw elements, our exquisite 0.71 carat asscher - octagon shaped blue sapphire was forged in the embrace of magma beneath the Earth's surface. These conditions needed eons to perfectly align before the elemental mixture of aluminum and oxygen, known as corundum, began to crystallize. As the ancient geologic pressures sculpted its form, occasional traces of iron and titanium melded within the crystal matrix. This union granted the stone its remarkable blue hue, known for its intense color intensity, a signature that defines its origin in Sri Lanka's revered gem fields.

The stone remained cloaked beneath layers of rock and soil, untouched for millions of years, until the hands of skilled miners uncovered its beauty in the rich alluvial deposits of Ceylon. Each piece lifted from the earth brought with it the legacy of distant epochs and natural mysteries. It is here, within this storied land, that the journey of each sapphire becomes inextricably linked with the narratives of the people who breathed life into its discovery. Generations of gemologists and artisans have shared in the sacred task of unveiling the graceful elegance housed within each rough gem.

As the sapphire was unearthed imbued with history and brilliance, it found its way into the hands of our meticulous artisans. Here at The Natural Sapphire Company, we honor the heritage of these remarkable stones as we transform them into treasures that speak to the soul. Our skilled craftsmen meticulously carved the stone into a splendid asscher cut with consummate care, taking advantage of its clarity grade of very slightly included to ensure every facet magnified its luster and enchantment. With an excellent polish, the finalized sapphire stands as a luminous token of both ancient earth and modern artistry, a testament not only to prolonged natural metamorphosis but also to our affinity for timeless elegance.
