10.54 Ct. Bluish Grey Sapphire Crystal from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One, elegant specimen offered by The Natural Sapphire Company presents a semi translucent bluish grey sapphire, weighing 10.54 carats, and retaining the natural character of a rough crystal cut, This sapphire measures 15.22 x 9.77 x 8.62 mm, dimensions that reflect a substantial presence for use as a display specimen or for a bespoke design that preserves surface character, The stone exhibits a medium color intensity, a tone that balances subtlety with visual depth, and an overall appearance that reads as soft blue with grey overtones, The natural surface and tapered crystal habit convey a genuine, unaltered state, and the gem has not undergone any enhancement, which preserves original material properties and provenance.

The clarity of this sapphire is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, This assessment indicates that the stone contains minor internal features that are visible to careful inspection, yet do not detract from its overall appeal, The included features are consistent with natural sapphires originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and are visible as small internal mineral traces and natural growth striations, The rough crystal cut emphasizes these internal characteristics as part of the gem aesthetic, rather than obscuring them by full faceting, The polish on exposed terminal faces is excellent, demonstrating careful handling and finishing that enhances light return from natural facets while maintaining the integrity of the rough form.

From a gemological and design perspective, this 10.54 carat sapphire offers several practical advantages, As corundum, the material provides high surface hardness and good wear resistance, making the stone suitable for jewelry provided standard precautions are observed, The medium color intensity and bluish grey hue respond attractively to different metals and settings, White metals will emphasize cooler tones, while warmer metals will provide a contrasting backdrop that can accentuate grey undertones, The current rough crystal conformation lends itself either to being set in a way that preserves and showcases the natural terminations, or to being pre visualized for skilled cuts that could yield a unique faceted stone, Any decision to facet will take into account potential weight retention, expected yield, and the desire to preserve characteristic growth patterns, The Natural Sapphire Company can advise on expected cutting outcomes and provide faceting options tailored to retain value and aesthetic.
