2.04 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the lush landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, lies a remarkable story of geological wonder and human artistry. Our 2.04 carat oval-shaped blue sapphire, sourced from the renowned gem deposits of this enchanting island, begins its journey deep beneath the earth's surface. These mines are famed for producing some of the world's most sought-after sapphires. It is within this rich soil that natural forces, working over millions of years, crafted this gem's quintessential transparency and immaculate crystalline structure. Once unearthed, the sapphire revealed dimensions of 8.59 x 6.87 x 4.08 mm, a size that perfectly highlights its striking exhibition of vivid blue color intensity.

The facets are meticulously shaped to reflect light at every angle, achieving an eye-clean clarity grade that speaks to the purity and quality of this gem. The heat treatment, a common enhancement for sapphires from this region, is skillfully applied to heighten its vivid color, ensuring the sapphire radiates the deep blue that is so prized by connoisseurs.
