The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present a stunning example of Mother Nature’s artistry with this exquisite violet sapphire. Weighing precisely 1.06 carats, this round-shaped gemstone stands as a testament to the allure of natural beauty expressed through technical craftsmanship. Carefully measured to dimensions of 6.12 by 6.11 by 3.71 millimeters, this sapphire embodies precision and symmetry, capturing attention with its aesthetically pleasing proportions.

At the heart of this gemstone's appeal is its mixed brilliant cut, a faceting style chosen to maximize both its internal reflections and the sophisticated play of light and color that is inherent to sapphires of such caliber. This cut, marrying the brilliance of traditional round shapes with the sophisticated facets unique to mixed cuts, ensures that the gem catches light from every angle, dispersing intense medium violet hues throughout its structure. The craftsmanship in cutting a sapphire to such exacting standards requires a deep understanding of both the gem’s physical properties and aesthetic potential, illuminating this sapphire's natural color palette exquisitely.

The clarity of this sapphire is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating that it possesses minuscule inclusions that are not visually detectable to the casual observer. These inclusions are considered by gemologists to be unique signatures of the stone, telling a story of its geological genesis over millions of years. They are tiny birthmarks, providing each gemstone its own character and certifying its natural origin. Rather than detracting from its beauty, these inclusions reveal the stone's individuality, assuring the collector of the gemstone’s authenticity and its journey from the heart of Sri Lanka to the hands of The Natural Sapphire Company.

Color intensity is an imperative quality when it comes to evaluating sapphires, and this particular stone displays a medium intense saturation that is both vibrant and refined. Such intensity is reminiscent of the soothing yet enigmatic depths of twilight skies captured within the gemstone. The sapphire's innate violet hues are enhanced by an excellent polish that magnifies its brilliance, transforming each facet into a mirror reflecting its exquisite core. This superior level of polish is the result of methodical handiwork, indicating the craftsman’s meticulous devotion to excellence.

Originating from Ceylon, now Sri Lanka, this sapphire joins a storied tradition of famed gem sourcing, known for producing sapphires that are both revered and highly sought after for their quality and color distinctions. Ceylon sapphires are celebrated for their unique hue and transparent clarity, attributes that are naturally granted through the island's exceptional geological conditions. The Natural Sapphire Company continues this legacy of peerless quality and integrity, ensuring that each gemstone, including this mesmerising violet sapphire, is a genuine testament to craftsmanship and natural beauty.
