0.75 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Born deep within the ancient metamorphic belts of Ceylon, this blue sapphire began as microscopic mineral components arranged over millennia under pressure and heat, eventually growing into a crystal that would be recovered by skilled miners in Sri Lanka. From the moment it left the earth it carried with it the story of its birthplace, a legacy of geology and human hands that is now preserved in a beautifully transparent 0.75 carat oval sapphire. The stone measures 6.68 x 5.09 x 2.62 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut was chosen to honor both the classic oval silhouette and the desire for maximum fire and brilliance. With an intense color intensity and no enhancement, this sapphire reveals the pure, vivid blue that Ceylon is celebrated for, and the excellent polish allows light to dance across every facet as it has been handled by master cutters to bring out its truest potential.

Up close the gem reveals its individuality through very slight inclusions as evaluated at eye level, features that act as natural fingerprints and attest to the gem's authenticity and natural origin. You may notice tiny pinpoint crystals and fine, wispy silk like threads that catch the light in subtle ways, creating depth and a living quality within the blue field. Those minute inclusions, far from detracting, add character and a narrative that cannot be reproduced in synthetic stones. The mixed brilliant cut and precise proportions emphasize the stone's internal story, allowing darker and lighter zones to interplay and creating a velvety, saturated blue that seems to breathe. At The Natural Sapphire Company we celebrate such natural markers because they connect the wearer to a specific place and time, to the miners who first found the stone, and to the artisans who shaped it. This unenhanced Ceylon sapphire, with its excellent polish and carefully considered proportions, is ready to be set into a piece that will carry its history forward. If you are seeking a sapphire with provenance, personality, and enduring beauty, this gem is an invitation to own a fragment of the ancient landscapes of Sri Lanka, preserved and perfected for the next chapter of its journey.
