0.71 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The mesmerizing journey of our 0.71 carat blue sapphire began beneath the lush landscapes of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, a renowned source of some of the world's finest sapphires. This region's rich geological conditions have nurtured gemstones with striking colors and remarkable clarity for centuries. Our gemstone began its journey millions of years ago, formed deep within the earth under conditions of intense heat and pressure. This ancient process bestowed upon it not only its captivating dark blue hue but also the purity that discerning buyers seek.

At The Natural Sapphire Company, we understand the story behind each stone is just as important as its appearance. This particular sapphire, with dimensions of 5.28 x 5.32 x 3.33 mm, has been carefully extracted respecting ethical and sustainable mining practices. What makes this piece stand out is its delightful play of light, achieved through a mixed brilliant cut that enhances its natural allure. The meticulous cutting process showcases the sapphire's brilliance and depth, ensuring it radiates the moment it catches the light.

As we continue the gemstone’s voyage, our skilled artisans examine and refine each facet to achieve an excellent polish, allowing the sapphire to reach its fullest potential. Its clarity grade of 'eye clean' is a testament to the gemstone's superior quality, indicating that it holds no visible inclusions when observed at eye level. This clarity ensures that its deep blue intensity remains uninterrupted, offering an expanse of untainted beauty that invites the admiration of every beholder.

But the journey does not end in the cutting room. To further enhance its vibrant color, the sapphire undergoes a heat treatment, a common practice in the gemstone world that is accepted and cherished by connoisseurs as it vividly amplifies the color without taking away the stone’s natural integrity. This final touch heightens the gemstone's value and ensures it meets the standards expected by our informed clientele at The Natural Sapphire Company.
