2.54 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This gem is a transparent 2.54 carat radiant shape sapphire with dimensions 8.69 x 6.72 x 4.55 mm. The hue is a distinctly bluish green with medium color intensity and an eye clean clarity grade as evaluated at eye level, and it has an excellent polish. The cut is radiant, a style that combines trimmed corners with a brilliant facet arrangement to deliver both a large face up appearance and lively scintillation. The origin of this sapphire is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and the stone has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement used to optimize color and clarity. For an educated buyer this combination of exact weight, measured proportions, and facet design gives a clear expectation of how the stone will perform in a fine jewelry setting and how it compares to other sapphires on the market.

To expand on grading and why it matters, clarity described as eye clean means that no significant inclusions are visible to a trained observer using the unaided eye under normal viewing conditions. That is a material advantage because many sapphires of similar weight and color show obvious inclusions that reduce brilliance and value. The medium color intensity indicates balanced saturation and tone, enough depth to convey rich color without veering into overly dark or opaque territory, and this is particularly desirable in bluish green sapphires. The radiant cut chosen for this stone is purposeful, as it maintains a larger visual face up area relative to weight, and the facet geometry emphasizes color distribution across the table while producing attractive light return. Excellent polish enhances the sharpness of facet junctions and maximizes surface reflectivity, a detail that materially affects perceived brightness. From a gemological perspective the bluish green hue is the result of trace elements in the corundum structure and is less commonly encountered in clean, well cut material, particularly from Ceylon Sri Lanka, which is known for producing lively and attractive pastel to medium tones that are prized in the market.

Rarity and market significance are what set this sapphire apart for collectors and buyers seeking a statement gem with investment and wearable value. Large sapphires in the 2 to 3 carat range that also present a rare bluish green hue, eye clean clarity, and excellent polish are uncommon. Many stones of this color are either smaller, darker, or contain noticeable inclusions that limit both aesthetic appeal and liquidity in the secondary market. The provenance from Ceylon Sri Lanka enhances desirability because Ceylon sapphires have a long history and are often associated with a lively, attractive color range that sells well to connoisseurs and designers. Heat treatment is a conventional and accepted enhancement that is stable under normal wear conditions, and full disclosure of this treatment is part of the responsible approach to valuation and resale. The Natural Sapphire Company provides transparent information on origin and treatment and can arrange independent gemological reporting on request. For mounting this sapphire works exceptionally well as a center stone in solitaire or halo settings, and its durability as corundum with a hardness of nine on the Mohs scale supports daily wear when properly set and maintained. Care recommendations include routine cleaning with mild soapy water and a soft brush, and professional advice on ultrasonic cleaning can be provided to take into account the specific nature of any treatments. This sapphire represents a rare opportunity to own a well documented and attractively cut bluish green stone with attributes that will appeal to knowledgeable buyers looking for color, clarity, and provenance in a single gem.
