2.40 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the soft, mineral rich soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka this 2.40 carat cushion shape blue sapphire began its story as a crystal buried for millennia, slowly gathering the elements that would give it life. Miners working in time honored pockets of gem bearing gravel carefully recovered this transparent gem, and its raw form was carried to a cutting atelier where an experienced lapidary read the stone like a map. Measured at 7.43 by 7.37 by 4.74 mm, the cutter chose a mixed brilliant cut to balance the sapphire’s natural color zoning with maximum light return, creating sparkling facets that dance beneath the surface. The result is a gemstone with vivid color intensity, an eye clean clarity at eye level, and an excellent polish that sings when the light finds it, a reflection of both nature and human hands refining what was formed over eons.
