0.94 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite cushion shape sapphire weighs 0.94 carat, with dimensions of 5.28 x 4.80 x 4.03 mm, and it is a rare bluish green that sits between the ocean blue and forest green spectrum. The mixed brilliant cut gives it a lively play of light, and the excellent polish produces crisp facet reflections that make the stone appear larger than its size suggests. Its transparency is clear and inviting, and the clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means the inclusions are subtle and contribute to a natural character rather than distract from the gem. The color intensity is medium, a tone that reads elegantly on the finger and adapts beautifully under different lighting conditions. This sapphire is heat treated, which is a widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and refines its natural color, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region celebrated for producing some of the world most desirable sapphires.

When you compare this Ceylon bluish green to sapphires from other famous locations the distinctions become a map of rarity and temperament. Kashmir sapphires are celebrated for a velvety cornflower blue with a soft, almost powdered tone that is seldom found outside that valley, and this stone differs by offering a greener leaning, a livelier surface that catches the eye with a subtle duality of sea and leaf. Burmese sapphires tend to lean toward a deep, saturated royal blue, with intensity that reads as dramatic and commanding, which contrasts with the more serene mood of this gem. Sapphires from Madagascar and Sri Lanka can share similar brightness, but Madagascar examples often display more vivid electric blues or strong teal tones, while this Ceylon piece carries a gentle bluish green that feels refined rather than theatrical. Australian sapphires are known for an inky, darker green blue that can be brooding and bold, whereas this stone keeps a medium tone that reads more versatile for everyday wear. Montana sapphires, admired for their unique teals and soft aquatic greens, are perhaps the closest relatives in spirit, yet this Ceylon sapphire brings a clarity and mixed brilliant cut that offers a cleaner, more scintillating presence than most Montana examples.

This sapphire is not simply another gem, it is a singular possession that speaks to connoisseurship and careful selection, it is the kind of piece that collectors and discerning clients seek when they want to own something both rare and wearable. At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate gemstones with provenance and character, and this bluish green Ceylon sapphire exemplifies that mission, offering a color profile that is immediately recognizable yet wonderfully uncommon. Because stones with this particular balance of blue and green and with such clean light return are found only occasionally in the Ceylon mines, you are offered not only a jewel but membership in an elite circle of owners who value nuance over trend. Imagine this gem set into a bespoke ring where the medium color intensity and cushion silhouette become the signature element, an heirloom piece designed once, kept forever.

From a gemological perspective the measurements and cut details matter to the experienced eye. The cushion shape at 5.28 x 4.80 x 4.03 mm sits in a sweet spot for center stones in delicate engagement rings or for classic solitaire pendants, and the mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to maximize scintillation while preserving the stone weight. The excellent polish ensures clean facet junctions and sharp reflections that enhance perceived size and sparkle, it also gives the surface a smooth touch that sits comfortably against the skin. The very slightly included clarity grade evaluated at eye level confirms that the stone is natural and untreated in the sense of clarity, the tiny inclusions are internal fingerprints of origin that authenticate the gem and often act like a microscopic signature that differentiates one sapphire from another. Heat treatment is indicated, a standard practice for Ceylon sapphires, and when performed responsibly it produces a stable and permanent enhancement that elevates the innate beauty of the stone without compromising integrity.

Owning this sapphire through The Natural Sapphire Company is an invitation to bespoke service and careful stewardship, we present this gem as a limited opportunity because stones of this hue, cut, and provenance are uncommon and highly desired. We recommend settings that allow light to enter from multiple angles, such as a low claw mount or an open gallery design, to take full advantage of the mixed brilliant cut and medium color intensity. For metals, warm tones like yellow gold will emphasize the green aspects, while cool tones like platinum or white gold will brighten the blue character, and a custom design conversation with our team will ensure the final piece reflects your personal taste and the gem natural personality. If you are building a curated collection, seeking a signature engagement stone, or commissioning a one off creation, this 0.94 carat Ceylon cushion sapphire is a superb candidate, a rare and elegant treasure that embodies the enduring beauty and exclusivity that clients expect from The Natural Sapphire Company.
