2.51 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 2.51 carat round shape blue sapphire began its journey deep in the gem gravels of Ceylon, where skilled artisanal miners coax rare crystals from ancient alluvial deposits, and it emerged as a transparent, intensely colored stone that immediately separated itself from more common material. From the moment it left the earth the sapphire was handled with the care reserved for exceptional gems, passing from local sorters who recognized its potential to master cutters, who fashioned it into a mixed brilliant cut with dimensions of 8.69 by 8.56 by 4.30 mm. The cutter focused on maximizing brilliance and color, producing an excellent polish that lets light dance within the pavilion and crown. The clarity grade is very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a sign of natural origin and character that is hardly visible to the naked eye but adds to the gem story that heat treated or synthetic stones lack. Importantly the stone is unenhanced, a no enhancement sapphire from Sri Lanka, with an intense color intensity that reads a vivid, velvety blue in daylight and glows with an inner fire under evening light.

Compared to the many market alternatives, this sapphire stands apart in quality, value, and authenticity, and The Natural Sapphire Company brings it to market with provenance and transparency that most vendors cannot match. Many sapphires offered today are heat treated to improve tone and saturation or are lab created to mimic the look at lower cost, but heat treatment alters the story and lab stones lack natural origin. This Ceylon sapphire requires no such alteration, so collectors and buyers receive a gem whose beauty is entirely natural, which carries long term value and rarity. The mixed brilliant cut balances the lively sparkle of a brilliant with the depth and color window prized in classic sapphire cuts, offering superior display on a finger or in a bespoke setting. At 2.51 carats the size is substantial while the excellent polish and careful proportions ensure it works beautifully in both solitaire and halo designs. When you choose this stone through The Natural Sapphire Company you are choosing a traceable, unenhanced Ceylon gem that combines artisanal history, precise cutting, and marketplace distinction, a gemstone whose journey from mine to market enhances both its beauty and its value.
