1.12 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the moment this sapphire left the rich alluvial soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, it began a journey shaped by time, heat, and human care. Buried for millennia in metamorphic rock, the corundum crystal was unearthed by experienced hands, and then carefully assessed by our gemologists at The Natural Sapphire Company. This is a transparent 1.12 carat oval blue sapphire measuring 7.21 by 6.81 by 3.22 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style, clarity grade eye clean at eye level, vivid color intensity, and excellent polish, enhancement heat treated, the cut preserves brilliance while the polish reveals a deep, velvety blue that speaks of the island heritage from which it was sourced. Skilled cutters coaxed the best proportions from the rough, balancing depth and table to allow light to dance through the stone, each facet placed to amplify color and to create a liveliness that makes this gem sing when set in a fine mounting.

Beyond its physical beauty, this Ceylon sapphire carries a legacy of meaning that has traveled with it from mine to market. Traditionally associated with wisdom and truth, sapphires are thought to encourage mental clarity, calm focus, and honest communication, qualities that many find useful when making important decisions or speaking from the heart. This vivid blue stone is often linked to the throat and third eye energies, promoting thoughtful expression and intuitive insight, while its steady, cooling hue is said to soothe stress and invite emotional balance. Many wearers find that a sapphire of this quality supports discipline and self mastery, and it is frequently chosen as a talisman for protection during travel or times of transition. When set as a ring or pendant, the gem becomes a daily reminder of intention, a small lighthouse of steadfast energy that can help keep priorities clear. At The Natural Sapphire Company we recommend gentle care to maintain its polish and brilliance, warm soapy water and a soft brush are ideal, avoid harsh chemicals and extreme knocks.
