1.94 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This oval shape blue sapphire weighs 1.94 carats, and measures 7.87 x 6.81 x 4.19 mm, and presents a balanced length to width ratio of approximately 1.16, and a depth of 4.19 mm which corresponds to a depth percentage of about 57.1 percent. The stone is cut to a mixed brilliant style, with a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown and a modified pavilion designed to maximize return of light and lively scintillation. The polished facet junctions are sharp, the girdle is even, and the overall symmetry is precise, producing an excellent polish that enhances both face up presence and windowing control. Clarity is assessed as eye clean at typical viewing distance, allowing the intense color saturation to read uniformly across the table without distraction. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source known for lively blue tones, and this specimen has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement that improves hue uniformity and clarity while preserving natural crystal structure.

From a rarity perspective this sapphire is exceptional, intense color combined with an eye clean clarity at a near two carat weight is significantly less common than smaller or more included examples. Many Ceylon stones that display intense saturation tend to be under one carat or display visible inclusions, therefore a 1.94 carat, eye clean, intensely colored oval offers a scarcity premium for technically minded buyers. The mixed brilliant faceting has been executed to yield strong internal reflection and controlled light leakage, producing a vivid, velvety blue when viewed table up, and crisp flashes of blue and violet when tilted. For setting considerations the dimensions and depth deliver a generous face up spread, making this sapphire particularly well suited to classic solitaire settings, three stone configurations, or precision halo designs that accentuate the pure color. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this stone with full disclosure of origin and enhancement, and our hand selection focuses on stones that combine superior cutting, clean clarity, and rare color intensity, a combination that appeals to connoisseurs seeking technical excellence and measurable rarity in their gemstones.
