1.30 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A voice of the sea and forest meets in this cushion shape bluish green sapphire, a gem that seems to hold an evening tide in its heart, a quiet pool where blue and green mingle in perfect hush. Transparent and lucid, this 1.30 carat stone measures 7.56 x 5.95 x 3.58 mm, and carries a mixed brilliant cut that scatters light like moonbeams across calm water. With a clarity graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and an intense color intensity paired with an excellent polish, every facet sings with subtle fire and refined elegance. Untreated and natural, this sapphire carries no enhancement, it comes to you as the earth shaped it, a true Ceylon treasure from Sri Lanka, and when set it will draw the eye like a secret held between two hands.

On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness this sapphire registers a nine, a testament to its strength and suitability for daily wear, it is second only to diamond which is a ten, and it is markedly harder than quartz which is a seven, and harder than topaz which is an eight, this hardness means the gem resists scratches and keeps its polished face through decades of tender use. As a member of the corundum family it offers both romance and resilience, making it an ideal choice for an engagement ring or a cherished heirloom meant to be worn and loved, not locked away. At The Natural Sapphire Company we see this stone as a companion for life, choose a setting that lets light dance through its mixed brilliant cut, clean it gently with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoid harsh chemicals and severe knocks, and it will repay you with steadfast color and quiet brilliance. Embrace this Ceylon sapphire as a promise, as a memory, as a daily delight, a jewel that holds both the poetry of its color and the hard truth of enduring beauty.
