Measuring 6.45 x 4.72 x 3.46 mm, this sapphire exudes an air of sophistication and exclusivity. Its dimensions are meticulously cut to make the most of the stone's natural properties, offering a harmonious balance between size and proportion.

The clarity grade of this blue sapphire is rated as very slightly included, evaluated meticulously at eye level. This means that, to the naked eye, any imperfections are insignificant and do not detract from the stone's beauty. Instead, they are a testament to the stone's natural origin. Each tiny inclusion is a marker of the sapphire's journey through millions of years trapped in the Earth's crust. It is important to emphasize that these minor inclusions are typical of natural sapphires and in fact add character and distinctiveness to each stone.

Origin is a fundamental factor in valuing a gemstone, and this sapphire's provenance from Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, is an enhancement of its prestige and value. Ceylon is world-renowned for producing some of the finest sapphires, revered for their superior quality, rich colors, and unique formation. The pedigree that a Ceylon sapphire carries ensures that the buyer is acquiring a gem that not only meets stringent quality standards, but also possesses history and significance. By owning this sapphire, one holds a tangible piece of this storied region, replete with its natural splendor and geological marvels.

When comparing natural sapphires to lab-grown alternatives, the distinction in origin carries considerable weight. Laboratory-grown sapphires are engineered with modern technology to mimic the color and clarity of natural stones, yet they do not carry the story and rarity that accompany those birthed from natural processes. Natural sapphires like the one from The Natural Sapphire Company have survived through eons, forming under specific geological conditions that cannot be replicated in a lab. This distinction ensures that each piece is unparalleled in authenticity and genuinely unique, cementing its legacy as a true masterpiece of nature.

By choosing a natural gemstone from The Natural Sapphire Company, you place trust in a tradition of craftsmanship and quality. We honor the slow passage of natural time that brought this exquisite gem to fruition. Our commitment is to provide you with a piece worthy of admiration and distinction. Investing in this 1.01-carat blue sapphire is both an acquisition of beauty and a celebration of natural history.
