2.15 Ct. Greyish Blue Star Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The star sapphire is a gemstone that captivates not merely through its intrinsic beauty but through a rich tapestry of technical details that reveals its exquisite nature. The featured gemstone is a 2.15 carat round shape greyish blue star sapphire, notable for its translucent quality and dimensions measuring 7.30 x 7.02 x 4.39 mm. Meticulously fashioned with a cabochon cut, this star sapphire showcases a harmonious blend of design and skill. The cabochon cut is particularly chosen for star sapphires to augment the visual appeal of this rare phenomenon, allowing the optical effect to enhance when light interacts with the internal structure of the stone. The 'star,' technically known as an asterism, is achieved through precise orientation of fine rutile inclusions that intersect with the curved surface of the gem, illustrating the sophistication inherent in its craftsmanship.

This star sapphire possesses a clarity grade of eye clean when evaluated at eye level. The clarity of the gemstone further amplifies its allure, providing an uninterrupted gaze into its compelling interior. Clarity in gemstones is an indicator of fewer inclusions and surface blemishes, contributing substantially to the star sapphire's luminosity and unique identification as a superior specimen. Furthermore, the medium color intensity of the greyish blue hue offers a subtle yet steady vibrancy, striking a perfect balance that is neither too subdued nor overwhelmingly bright. This chromatic consistency is complemented by an excellent polish, ensuring that every facet reflects light with optimum luster. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we uphold the highest standards for the polishing process, guaranteeing that each aspect of the gem's contour is polished to enkindle its innate brilliance.

The origin of a gemstone plays an integral role in its authenticity and perceived value. This particular star sapphire originates from Ceylon, modern-day Sri Lanka, a region renowned for producing sapphires with the most sought-after asterism qualities. Sri Lanka's unique geological conditions provide a nurturing ground for sapphires characterized by their ideal translucency and vibrant color palette. The legacy of Ceylonese sapphires dates back centuries, trusted by royalty and revered in jewelry history. The provenance from Ceylon distinguishes this star sapphire, adding palatable historic and cultural value, that heightens its desirability among connoisseurs and collectors. Such geographical specificity not only underscores the gem's rarity but also offers a tangible connection to the rich cultural tapestry imbued within its mineralogical formation.
