3.01 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This extraordinary, transparent 3.01 carat oval blue sapphire is a rare offering from The Natural Sapphire Company, crafted for those who seek a gemstone that is both exclusive and enduring. Measuring 9.41 by 7.09 by 5.51 millimeters, this stone has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that combines the fire of a brilliant faceting style with the classic elegance of an oval shape, producing scintillation that feels both lively and refined. Eye clean, evaluated at eye level, the clarity allows light to travel through the sapphire with minimal obstruction, while the vivid color intensity delivers a deep, saturated blue that is unmistakably Ceylon, Sri Lanka. The excellent polish heightens every facet edge, and the disclosed enhancement, heat treated, is a traditional and stable process used to clarify and intensify the innate beauty of the gem, ensuring it will continue to perform beautifully for generations.

When compared to more common gemstones, this Ceylon sapphire offers a distinct and compelling kind of brilliance that sets it apart. Unlike blue topaz or aquamarine, which often rely on lighter, watery tones and sheer sparkle, this sapphire presents a velvety depth of color that refracts light into rich, blue flashes and subtle internal glow, creating the impression of light coming from within the stone. Compared to mass market sapphires, which may be heavily included or muted in color, the combination of vivid saturation, eye clean clarity, and a mixed brilliant cut produces superior scintillation and return of light, making facets sing with life rather than showing flat patches. While diamonds possess unparalleled brilliance due to their unique refractive properties, this sapphire offers a rarer, more aristocratic luminosity, a saturated brilliance that reads as sophisticated and timeless rather than commonplace.

Owning this sapphire places you among a select group who appreciate true rarity and provenance, a piece that is ready to be set into a bespoke design or reserved as a collector treasure. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem with full disclosure and expert care, offering personalized guidance on settings and certifications to ensure the stone retains its value and character. For discerning clients who expect exceptional color, clarity, and craftsmanship, this 3.01 carat Ceylon blue sapphire is an invitation to own an heirloom quality gem that feels both intimate and extraordinary.
