2.41 Ct. Violet Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the lush landscapes of Ceylon, amid vibrant patches of verdant foliage and the symphony of distant wildlife, lies the story of a gemstone that captured nature's aesthetic essence – a 2.41 carat violet sapphire. Beneath the ancient soil of these fabled lands, where time itself seems to leave delicate imprints, miners gently coax out vibrant sapphires, each encasing tales as old as the dawn of civilization. This particular sapphire, with its entrancing cushion shape and precise dimensions of 9.35 x 6.08 x 4.31 mm, emerged from the earth with a promise of transformation, a destined journey from its raw, untouched state to a polished emblem of elegance.

The journey of this sapphire truly begins with skilled hands that understand the languages of gemstones. In the hands of a master craftsman, the raw splendor of the crystal is carefully evaluated, revealing its magnificence through a mixed brilliant cut. This meticulous cutting process enhances the sapphire’s inherent medium intense violet hue, bringing to life every facet with light and reflection. The gemstone's clarity, evaluated at eye level and determined to be very slightly included, offers a window into the sapphire's core where nature and art combine seamlessly. Each precisely measured angle ensures that the gem's beauty is not only preserved but elevated, promising a luminosity that rivals the Ceylon sunrise.

As part of its transformation, the sapphire undergoes an exceptional polishing process that plays a crucial role in ensuring its surface radiates with a pristine reflectiveness. The gemstone is not merely polished for beauty but for a narrative of precision and dedication that echoes through generations. The polished surface invites admiration but holds within it the deep history and the efforts of those who crafted it. The Natural Sapphire Company takes immense pride in presenting this gemstone, not just as a product, but as a piece of Earth's own timeline, refined for those who recognize the wonders of the world around them.
