2.89 Ct. Violet Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional, transparent violet sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka embodies rarity and quiet authority, a single, unaided example of natural beauty offered by The Natural Sapphire Company. We present a 2.89 carat oval, precisely measured at 9.79 x 6.13 x 5.33 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that balances depth and scintillation, clarity graded as slightly included at eye level, intense color intensity, and an excellent polish. There has been no enhancement, ensuring every facet you see is the result of nature and masterful cutting alone. Stones of this pedigree are rarely encountered, and its honest, untreated origin makes it a collectible gem for discerning connoisseurs who seek an object that signifies membership in a select few who own truly authentic, unaltered examples of Ceylonite sapphire.

Under different lighting conditions this violet sapphire performs like a private performance of light and color, revealing new moods as you look. In bright natural daylight the intense violet blooms, a royal wash of color across the crown, while the mixed brilliant cut scatters light for lively white sparkle and internal flashes that dance as the gem moves. In cool, modern LED or fluorescent environments the stone leans into its blue violet character, appearing crisp and electric, ideal for contemporary settings. In warm incandescent or candlelit light the color deepens into a more sumptuous purple, velvety and rich, with faceted fire that feels intimate and luxurious. In low ambient light the stone retains a strong presence, its core color remaining visible and dignified, and when struck by a focused spotlight the cutting geometry delivers bold scintillation and flashes of brilliance that announce the gem without shouting. Subtle pleochroic tendencies reveal themselves as the stone turns, offering glimpses of slightly different blue and purple nuances across angles, a reminder of its natural origin and internal complexity. For the collector who values singularity, this sapphire is a rare conversation between origin, cut, and light, ready to be set in a bespoke piece that complements its provenance and character, and to become a treasured emblem of exclusivity.
