1.06 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Sapphire Company, we pride ourselves on our selection of premium gemstones that are chosen for their exceptional quality and rarity. Among our distinguished offerings is a stunning 1.06-carat greenish-blue sapphire, expertly crafted into an Asscher-octagon shape. This exquisite sapphire, with dimensions of 6.17 x 5.97 x 3.22 mm, exemplifies the unique characteristics that set it apart from more common gemstones, making it an invaluable addition to a discerning buyer's collection.

The brilliance of this sapphire is immediately apparent, owed in part to its precise Asscher cut, which enhances its ability to reflect and refract light in ways few other gemstones can achieve. Unlike more commonly found gemstones such as amethyst or peridot, which may lack the same level of sophisticated craftsmanship, this sapphire’s well-defined step cut facets create a hall-of-mirrors effect. This effect, incorporating both depth and luster, draws the eye inward, emphasizing the gem’s intense and vivid greenish-blue coloration. The saturation and tone of this sapphire are rated with an intense color intensity, making it not only mesmerizing but also indicative of its superior quality and desirability.

Critical in assessing gemstone value is clarity, and this sapphire's grade of very slightly included ensures its brilliance remains largely uninterrupted by any internal characteristics. At an eye level evaluation, these inclusions are barely perceivable, demonstrating that its crystalline structure is impressively pure for a naturally mined gemstone. Such a clarity grade is highly coveted, enhancing the sapphire’s luminescence and directly contributing to its overall aesthetic appeal. The transparency of this gemstone further accentuates its vibrant color, ensuring it captures light beautifully, making it a centerpiece of fine jewelry.

Origin is a key factor in the valuation of colored gemstones, and this sapphire hails from the storied gem-bearing regions of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka. Sri Lanka has been lauded for centuries for producing some of the world's most stunning sapphires, as its geological conditions contribute to the formation of uniquely vibrant and high-quality stones. This connection to such an esteemed locale adds a layer of intrinsic historical and collectible value, distinguishing it unequivocally from stones sourced elsewhere. Proudly offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this gemstone is not only an investment in beauty and artistry but also in a long-standing legacy of exceptional gemstone production.

Choosing this sapphire is an informed decision for the educated buyer interested in both the aesthetic allure and the rarity of exceptional gemstones. Its competitive edge over more conventional options speaks volumes about quality and taste. With an excellent polish enhancing its already remarkable features, this 1.06-carat greenish-blue Asscher cut sapphire continues to delight the eye long after first beholden, ensuring it will be cherished for generations. Embrace the elegance and prestige offered by The Natural Sapphire Company with this unparalleled natural treasure.
