1.25 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Long before human history began, amidst the swirling mists of an ancient earth, a unique wonder was quietly taking form beneath the surface. Millions of years ago, in what is today known as Sri Lanka, or Ceylon as it was once called, volcanic forces were in delicate, tumultuous play. Under unimaginable pressure and heat, deep within the earth's crust, a journey commenced that would eventually give birth to a truly remarkable gemstone. This is the story of an exquisite sapphire, now available to be part of your collection, made possible by The Natural Sapphire Company.

The majestic sapphire, now a transparent oval shape weighing 1.25 carats, was formed from the bedrock of time itself. It owes its existence to the gradual cooling and transformation of molten minerals. Over epochs, the sapphire's crystalline lattice trapped within it the spirits of its environment and the blue hues imbued by trace elements of iron and titanium. Its dimensions of 7.36 x 5.73 x 3.60 mm hold within them countless stories of the earth, whispered by nature itself. As time wore on, geological forces conspired to push this gem closer to the earth’s surface, waiting patiently for the hands that would reveal it to the wonders of the world.

That day came when gem miners, guided by the traditions of their ancestors, discovered this sapphire within the rich soils of Sri Lanka. Known for their unparalleled expertise, these artisans delivered a gem of astounding beauty. At the hands of skilled craftsmen, this rough gem was transformed with a mixed brilliant cut into a stone that plays with light, captivating all who gaze upon it.
