2.00 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, this exquisite 2.00 carat blue sapphire began its journey millions of years ago. Nestled beneath layers of ancient earth, it was sculpted by the geological forces that define our planet's history. As tectonic plates shifted and volcanic pressures built up, unique minerals fused together to form this gem. Its vibrant blue color was the result of trace elements interacting at high temperatures, lending it a beauty unseen in any other part of the world.

As the eons passed, the sapphire lay hidden within its rocky cradle, absorbing the essence of Ceylon’s rugged terrain. This period imparted the gem with the exceptional medium color intensity that dazzles the eye today. Eventually, it was uncovered by skilled miners, whose craft has been passed down through generations, preserving the traditional methods and cultural significance of sapphire excavation in the region. Each stage of the mining process was approached with care and respect for the land, ensuring minimal impact and maintaining the natural beauty of the environment.

Once brought to the surface, the sapphire was entrusted to master craftsmen who bestowed upon it a mixed brilliant cut. This particular cut was chosen to enhance the stone’s natural clarity and transparency, allowing light to cascade through its structure beautifully. The dimensions of 6.98 x 5.93 x 5.12 mm reflect a precision that leaves its surface with an excellent polish, granting it a luster that captivates under any light, much like the Ceylon skies it came from. Despite being very slightly included, these natural markings are faint tributes to its genuine origin and formation, adding depth to its story.

The heat treatment applied is a testament to the balance between nature and human ingenuity. This enhancement is a traditional practice that revives the stone’s natural vivacity, stabilizing its structure without overshadowing its inherent characteristics. It is through these enhancements that the sapphire radiates with a brilliance akin to untouched water in a pristine lagoon, holding within it a tale of natural wonder and human artistry.

At The Natural Sapphire Company, we are humbled to present this breathtaking gem, a tangible piece of earth’s rich history. Owning such a sapphire is not merely acquiring a gemstone but becoming the final chapter in its enduring narrative.
