2.30 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 2.30 carat cushion shape blue sapphire measures 7.53 x 6.13 x 5.33 mm, and is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut designed to balance strong color saturation with lively facet reflection. The stone presents a dark color intensity, a depth of tone that reads as rich navy to deep cornflower depending on light, and an excellent polish that allows the surface to return light crisply. Clarity is slightly included as evaluated at eye level, which is common in natural corundum and often invisible once mounted, preserving transparency while confirming natural formation. This sapphire has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement in the trade that improves color and clarity without compromising stability, and its proportions and mixed brilliant faceting maximize face up presence for a 2.30 carat cushion. For the educated buyer this combination of natural origin, disclosed treatment, precise dimensions, and excellent polish translates into a valuable, wearable stone that balances rarity and practicality, offering both collector appeal and everyday durability.

The journey of this sapphire from mine to market is a story of careful selection and craftsmanship managed by The Natural Sapphire Company, beginning in the alluvial and hard rock fields of Ceylon, Sri Lanka. Local miners recover sapphire rough, which is then sorted by experienced cutters and graders who assess crystal habit, color zoning, and internal features to determine the best cutting strategy. This piece was shaped as a cushion to retain weight while employing a mixed brilliant cut to enhance light return and to concentrate the rich blue hue. Following cutting, the stone received expert polishing that achieved the excellent finish you see, and gemological assessment at eye level established its slightly included clarity grade, along with disclosure of heat treatment. At The Natural Sapphire Company we document origin, treatment, and measurements, and present each sapphire with transparent information so buyers understand its provenance and quality. For connoisseurs seeking a natural, Ceylon sapphire with substantial color depth, reliable treatment disclosure, and thoughtful cutting for maximum presence, this 2.30 carat cushion provides a compelling combination of beauty, traceable origin, and technical merit, ready to be set into an heirloom piece or acquired as a focused addition to a curated collection.
