The sapphire measures 6.06 x 6.00 x 3.20 mm, a well proportioned round with a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and saturated color, producing lively fire when seen in motion and deep velvety blue when viewed face up. Its clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone appears clean to the eye and retains strong transparency, while still reflecting the natural origin and character that make each Ceylon gem unique. Color intensity is rated intense, a pure and vivid blue that reads as both regal and modern, and the polish is excellent, enhancing the gem s mirror like facets and maximizing its reflective beauty. This sapphire has been heat treated, a traditional enhancement applied to many fine sapphires to refine color and stability, a treatment that experienced gemologists and connoisseurs accept as industry standard for improving the inherent beauty of natural stones.
