2.62 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This cushion shaped blue sapphire weighs 2.62 carat and measures 7.52 x 6.98 x 5.18 mm, presented in a faceted cutting style with a mixed brilliant cut that balances table sparkle and depth of color. The stone is transparent and exhibits vivid color intensity, a trait prized by connoisseurs because it indicates strong absorption in the blue region without becoming overly dark in typical lighting. Evaluated at eye level the clarity grade is eye clean, meaning no inclusions are readily visible to the unaided eye, which maximizes the visual appeal and the potential for high light return through the pavilion. The polish is excellent, which enhances surface luster and allows the mixed brilliant facet arrangement to perform optimally. The sapphire has been heat treated, a widely accepted and stable enhancement within the trade that improves color uniformity and reduces certain internal features, and this treatment is disclosed transparently as part of the gem description.

Origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a provenance esteemed for producing sapphires with lively, velvety blues and a characteristic mix of brightness and saturation. For the educated buyer, this combination of carat weight, eye clean clarity, vivid color, excellent polish, and Sri Lankan origin creates a gem that is both collectible and wearable. Sapphire ranks nine on the Mohs hardness scale, which supports everyday wear in engagement rings and heirloom pieces while still rewarding careful setting to protect the pavilion and corners. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize full disclosure and documentation, and we can provide details on the stone history and the nature of the heat treatment. We source our sapphires through certified supply chains where possible, working with miners and partners who observe fair labor practices, environmental stewardship, and legal compliance.

This gemstone fits seamlessly into a conscious consumer collection, because its provenance and treatment are openly stated, and because The Natural Sapphire Company prioritizes ethical sourcing and traceability in procurement. Buyers seeking to align aesthetic and ethical values will appreciate the balance of natural origin, transparent enhancement disclosure, and responsible sourcing. The sapphire is ideal for a buyer who values technical grading information and longevity, and who seeks a responsibly acquired, visually striking stone that can serve as a central element of a meaningful piece of jewelry or as a discerning addition to a curated gemstone collection.
