26.26 Ct. Blue Cabochon Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional, translucent blue sapphire weighs 26.26 carats, and is fashioned into a classic oval cabochon, measuring 16.52 by 15.52 by 10.35 millimeters, with a pleasing dome and excellent polish that enhances its internal color and glow. The gem displays a medium color intensity, a true Ceylon blue that balances vibrancy and depth, and it offers a soft, satiny presence typical of well cut cabochons. Clarity is graded slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which contributes character and a natural fingerprint without detracting from the overall beauty, and the stone is free of any enhancement, preserving its natural integrity and value. Origin information confirms this sapphire as from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region celebrated for producing sapphires with appealing tones and classic appeal, and the combination of weight, cut, and untreated status makes this piece notable for collectors and connoisseurs alike.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we appreciate the rarity of an untreated, high carat cabochon from Ceylon, and we recommend this sapphire for a bold pendant, a statement ring, or a museum style collection piece where its translucency and rich hue can be admired from every angle. The generous dimensions and strong polish allow the stone to sit comfortably in settings that showcase the cabochon dome, and warm metals such as 18 karat yellow gold can enhance the blue while white gold or platinum will provide a modern contrast. Care is simple, clean with warm soapy water and a soft brush, avoid harsh chemicals and extreme heat, and store separately to prevent scratches.
