An analysis of its color profile reveals a medium intense blue, a hue revered in sapphires for its balance of saturation and subtlety. While sapphires globally are lauded for a varied palette, the character of Ceylon blue sapphires illustrates nature’s ability to create a range that evokes the sky at dusk or the ocean’s profound depths. In comparison, sapphires from the Kashmir region may present a softer, velvety cornflower blue that exudes an aura of romance. Meanwhile, those from Madagascar often possess a brighter, more electric blue tone with a hint of green. In this round blue sapphire, hailing from the acclaimed mines of Ceylon or modern-day Sri Lanka, the richness of the blue color demonstrates the region’s celebrated gemological legacy, notable for a tranquil yet compelling intensity, that stands distinct from such counterparts.

Examining clarity, the gem is graded as very slightly included at eye level.

In the embedded continuum of inclusion characteristics, this clarity provides an important insight into this sapphire's natural heritage, celebrating the journey from raw earth to refined jewel. Such a trait is indicative of supreme extraction and meticulous selection processes for which The Natural Sapphire Company takes pride.
