0.94 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the ancient alluvial gravels of Ceylon this sapphire began its journey, a quiet stone carried downstream through rains and time until a miner in Sri Lanka lifted it from the riverbed, hopeful for the rare beauty it might reveal, the rough crystal then passing through skilled hands where a cutter assessed its potential, the decision to fashion this gem into an elegant oval was made to preserve weight and bring forward a pure, transparent heart, the finished gem weighs 0.94 carats, measures 7.00 by 4.76 by 3.32 millimeters, and is cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances fiery facets against a soft, classic outline, its color reads as medium light blue with a clear, luminous presence, its clarity is described as very very slightly included when viewed at eye level which means the stone appears clean and lively to the eye, an excellent polish gives each facet a crisp, reflective edge, and like many fine sapphires from Ceylon it has been gently heat treated to refine tone and clarity, the result is a sapphire that keeps the oceanic, storied charm of Sri Lanka while meeting modern standards of beauty and brilliance, The Natural Sapphire Company ensures this history and treatment are transparent to the purchaser, and the gem arrives with provenance and the kind of care that honors the place it came from.
