Long before the dawn of civilization, hidden deep within the Earth's crust, forces beyond our imagination were at work crafting nature's timeless beauty. Nestled within an ancient realm now known as Ceylon, modern-day Sri Lanka, this unique gemstone began its captivating journey. Millions of years ago, under titanic pressures and in the depths of molten magma, this masterpiece started forming layer by layer, painstakingly arranging its crystal lattice until the moment was perfect.
From these primordial origins, our magnificent 2.26 carat greenish blue sapphire emerged. Its delicate cushion shape, with precise dimensions of 8.20 x 6.18 x 4.83 mm, hints at craftsmanship that pays homage to nature's design. The gem dimly glows with a mysterious dark color intensity.

More than a mere gem, it is a testament from a bygone era that traveled through volcanic processes eventually finding its home in the serene mines of Ceylon.
