2.74 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Long before any hand could shape it, this blue sapphire began its journey deep within the Earth, forged over millions of years under unimaginable heat and pressure, slowly crystallizing as corundum in a hidden geological crucible. Tiny traces of titanium and iron were absorbed into the crystal lattice during its formation, giving rise to the intense blue hue that now commands attention. Geological forces pushed this gem closer to the surface, and time and water polished its rough edges as it traveled through ancient river gravels in Ceylon Sri Lanka. Centuries of natural selection allowed only the most exquisite crystals to survive, and from those rare survivors our cutters uncovered a transparent 2.74 carat gem that speaks directly to that long and patient history. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this sapphire as a living fragment of Earth history, a stone that carries the memory of deep time and the very processes that shape our planet.

This radiant shape sapphire measures 9.04 x 6.82 x 4.39 mm, and it has been masterfully fashioned with a radiant cut that maximizes its face up brilliance, and an excellent polish that returns light with a clean, lively flash. Evaluated at eye level, its clarity grade is eye clean, allowing the vivid color intensity to take center stage without distraction. The stone has been heat treated, a traditional and stable enhancement that refines color while preserving the gem s natural integrity. Origin Ceylon Sri Lanka imbues this sapphire with a provenance prized by connoisseurs and collectors alike.
