1.12 Ct. Bluish Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite, transparent bluish purple sapphire weighs 1.12 carat, and measures 7.65 x 5.26 x 3.44 millimeters, its elegant oval silhouette enhanced by a mixed brilliant cut that celebrates both fire and depth. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this gem carries the long lineage of island sapphires favored by ancient kings and modern connoisseurs alike. With an intense color intensity and an excellent polish, it projects a vivid, noble hue that reads as both classical and contemporary, a balance that appeals to those who revere tradition and demand timeless elegance. Evaluated at eye level as very slightly included, this stone remains remarkably clean to the naked eye, a testament to natural formation and careful cutting, and importantly, it is offered with no enhancement, preserving the authentic character that collectors and jewelers prize.

What sets this sapphire apart are the unique internal signatures hidden within its crystal lattice, the inclusions that act as a fingerprint of its origin and story. Delicate silk like rutile needles whisper of the gem materializing slowly in a living rock, and tiny mineral crystals dispersed like ancient stars speak to geological moments frozen in time. Subtle growth zoning and minute liquid filled pockets create gentle veining of color when turned to the light, lending the stone an inner glow that shifts and deepens with every tilt. These features do not detract from the gem, they define it, granting nuance to the intense bluish purple and a sense of provenance only nature can write. Such inclusions attest to the sapphire being a genuine, untreated treasure, and their presence is a mark of authenticity that collectors find irresistible.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor these natural signatures, guiding patrons to treasures that carry both visual beauty and provenance. This 1.12 carat Ceylon sapphire is more than a jewel, it is a small relic of geological history, a wearable heirloom that will age gracefully and tell a story for generations. For those who cherish legacy, craftsmanship, and the quiet poetry of natural inclusions, this sapphire offers a rare opportunity to own a piece of history, untouched and unmistakable.
