0.98 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Introducing a gemstone of incomparable beauty and rarity, The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present a truly exceptional blue sapphire. This exquisite gemstone, weighing precisely 0.98 carats, offers both collectors and connoisseurs a unique opportunity to acquire a gemstone that stands out in both size and color. Measuring 6.82 x 5.22 x 3.28 mm, this oval-shaped sapphire combines elegance with precision, highlighting the meticulous craftsmanship that has gone into shaping this resplendent gem.

The sapphire is fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut, a decision made to amplify its potential for light refraction, thereby maximizing its brilliance and sparkle. This choice of cut plays a pivotal role in enhancing the gem's natural radiance, allowing it to disperse light with exceptional clarity and intensity. Unlike standard cuts, the mixed brilliant enhances the inherent luster found in this extraordinary sapphire, providing the beholder with a visual spectacle akin to witnessing a myriad of stars encapsulated within a singular magnificent stone.

The sapphire’s intense color intensity makes it a rare find among blue sapphires. Unique in its vibrance, the vivid blue hue it possesses is further complemented by an excellent polish, which further accentuates its striking appearance. This intensity of color is a rarity, compounded by the sapphire's remarkable origin, which is Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka. Ceylon sapphires are celebrated for their exceptional quality and distinct saturations, making them highly sought after in the gemstone market. This particular sapphire stands as a testament to the finest gems renowned in global collections, distinguished not only by its breathtaking color but also by its origin narrative that ties to a rich heritage of gemstone mining and artistry.

Evaluated at an eye level, the clarity grade of the sapphire is determined to be very slightly included. This level of clarity is particularly notable, as it signifies that any inclusions within the gem are barely visible to the naked eye, hence maintaining an unfettered view into its interiors. It is this transparent quality that allows the vivid color of the sapphire to shine uninhibited, offering an unparalleled viewing experience that attracts the gaze of any discerning observer. Each facet of the sapphire is meticulously polished to an excellent grade, ensuring that each surface reflects light optimally, lending an almost ethereal glow to the gem when observed in a myriad of lighting conditions.

The rarity of this gemstone is further amplified by considering both its size and its uncommon brilliance in color. Sapphires of similar dimensions seldom possess such an intense degree of blue, making this particular gem an invaluable addition to any fine collection. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we pride ourselves on offering pieces that not only captivate in beauty but also promise enduring investment, aligning aesthetic appeal with intrinsic value. This blue sapphire is not merely a stone, but a prideful statement of nature’s finest artistry, each angle and facet narrating a story of divine creation and skillful human craftsmanship.

In sum, this 0.98 carat blue sapphire captures the quintessence of natural beauty and superior gemological expertise. Its mixed brilliant cut, pristine clarity, intense color intensity, and unparalleled craftsmanship culminate to form a truly superior gemstone. Originating from the esteemed mines of Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, this sapphire boasts a legacy of superior quality and has traversed through a historically rich tapestry of tradition and artistic fervor. The Natural Sapphire Company invites distinguished buyers and collectors to appreciate a piece that stands as a true testament to what exceptional gemstones aspire to be — an unparalleled confluence of natural rarity and expert craftsmanship, destined to be cherished through generations.
