0.72 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The centerpiece of our exquisite collection, this 0.72 carat blue sapphire, masterfully cut in the classic emerald shape, exemplifies the pinnacle of gemological craft and precise artistry. Displaying dimensions of 6.16 x 4.06 x 2.95 mm, this sapphire emanates an intense color intensity, making it a remarkable specimen for connoisseurs of fine gemstones. Its color, a vibrant blue that radiates with depth and vigor, is a testament to the geological wonders of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka. Renowned for producing some of the finest sapphires the world has seen, Ceylon’s contributions to gemology are unmatched, and this gemstone is a splendid ambassador of its rich tradition.

The emerald cut, utilized to fashion this sapphire, is distinguished by its unique step cuts and a plane of facets that range parallel to the girdle. This specific cut showcases the sapphire’s color conveyance while granting it an expansive "hall of mirrors" appearance. This meticulously rendered faceting style is designed not only to amplify the stone's inherent hue but also to enhance its radiant transparency. Coupled with an excellent polish, this sapphire's surface gleams with a mirror-like finish, reflecting and refracting light with an unparalleled brilliance. For those well-versed in gemstone clarity assessments, this sapphire offers a very slightly included clarity grade, which when evaluated at eye level, maintains its captivating allure without visible imperfections.

In terms of durability, sapphires, composed primarily of corundum, possess a remarkable hardness rating of 9 on the Mohs scale. This places them just below diamonds, which are rated at 10, ensuring these gems boast impressive resilience. Such hardness guarantees not only longevity but also the gemstone's ability to withstand daily wear while retaining its immaculate luster over time. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we are proud to offer gems that are as durable as they are beautiful, serving as lasting treasures for generations. We are dedicated to providing sapphires that speak to the discerning tastes of our clientele, and this exceptional blue sapphire is a perfect example of our commitment to quality, craftsmanship, and enduring beauty.
