2.03 Ct. Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Deep within the verdant landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, lies a realm untouched by time where the earth holds a kaleidoscope of color and rarity. Within this realm, our beautiful transparent 2.03 carat violet sapphire was born. It began its journey millions of years ago, forming amidst the heat and pressure that shaped the mountains. The island's mineral-rich soil bestowed upon it a unique character marked by a medium intense color intensity that sets it apart from more common gemstones such as blue sapphires and amethysts. This specific hue is a rarity, capturing the eye and heart with each glimpse like a vibrant memory frozen in time.

As it emerged from its rocky cocoon, the sapphire's transformation unraveled under the skilled hands of expert gemstone cutters. Its mixed brilliant cut was meticulously crafted to reveal and enhance each facet's ability to catch the light, setting it aglow with an internal flame. Compared to more traditional stones, this violet sapphire exhibits flexibility in light play—as its facets mimic the imagination of a painter's brush upon canvas, translating the mystique of twilight within its depths. This enchanting dance of light is unparalleled, surpassing even that of traditional white diamonds in spectacle because of the gem’s natural vivacity and chromatic allure.

This 2.03 carat gem, with dimensions of 8.86 x 5.84 x 4.26 mm, offers a rare blend of proportion and presence that speaks to the bespoke nature of its character. Its clarity, very slightly included, as evaluated at eye level, serves not as an imperfection but as a testimony to its natural origin and authenticity. These tiny inclusions are tender whispers from the earth, residue from a tumultuous journey that adds depth and archeological intrigue, while its excellent polish provides a surface smooth enough to admire its innate sensibility. Our sapphires maintain enchanting stories like these, echoing The Natural Sapphire Company's commitment to offering gemstones that wear their history proudly.

The allure of this sapphire goes beyond its measurable qualities, venturing into a realm of cultural and historical homage. In ancient traditions, sapphires were often associated with nobility and were believed to possess the power to protect and bless. This violet sapphire continually channels an enduring tradition of mysticism and esteemed luxury. Possessing such a gem offers one a personal connection to a legacy and a respected narrative that echoes through history, symbolizing wisdom and spiritual enlightenment amidst its violet sheen.
