2.04 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The Natural Sapphire Company offers a transparent 2.04 carat oval blue sapphire, precisely measured at 8.89 by 7.21 by 3.75 millimeters, presenting a length to width ratio of 1.23 and a depth percentage of approximately 46.6 percent. Cut in a mixed brilliant style, the stone combines a brilliant facet arrangement on the crown with a modified pavilion plan to balance return and color saturation, creating controlled scintillation rather than excessive windowing. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which results in an overall eye clean appearance that allows uninterrupted light transmission. The intense color intensity is classic Ceylon blue, and with no enhancements recorded the sapphire offers natural, stable saturation. The excellent polish produces crisp facet junctions and a smooth girdle face, optimizing facet-to-facet light transfer and minimizing surface diffusion.

Under bright daylight the sapphire yields a vivid, lively blue with strong midtone saturation and a lively mix of small bright flashes from the mixed brilliant crown, revealing the stone's transparent body and subtle pleochroic shifts toward slightly deeper blue violet on certain angles. In incandescent or warmer light the hue deepens marginally, exhibiting a richer velvety blue while maintaining noticeable brilliance due to the well proportioned pavilion, so the gem reads darker but still lively. Under cool white LED or fluorescent lighting the stone returns more of its pure intense blue, with crisp scintillation and tighter contrast between bright facet flashes and darker facet windows. In spotlight or direct pin point illumination the mixed cut promotes concentrated points of light and defined scintillation across the table and crown facets. For mounting recommendations a setting that allows light entry through the pavilion, such as an open gallery or minimal metal bezel, will maximize color transmission and scintillation. This untreated Ceylon sapphire is a technical example of balanced cutting and natural material quality, ideal for buyers who prioritize precise proportions, natural color, and superior polish.
