3.03 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Deep in the heart of the lush landscapes of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, is where our story begins. Here, amidst the vibrant tapestry of tropical flora, lies an ancient earth rich in mineral complexity. A tapestry marked by the hands of time, climate, and geological phenomena of ages past. It is within this cradle of natural opulence that the bluish green sapphire first drew breath, slowly forming beneath layers of corundum, rich in the elements that would one day give life to its unique color.

The formation of our rare sapphire is not the result of mere chance, but rather a remarkable testament to nature’s artistry. Eons ago, volcanic activity and shifting tectonic plates gave birth to mineral-rich deposits, a hidden trove cloaked in the island’s rich terrains. It was here that on one fortuitous day, a discovery was made. This unassuming stone, embedded in rock, rough yet intriguing, sparked the imaginations of those who beheld it. Soon, skilled hands would carry it beyond the earth’s embrace, and into the realms of human craftsmanship.

In the skilled hands of artisans at The Natural Sapphire Company, this formative relic became more than a gemstone. Through the delicate dance of shaping and polishing, each facet was methodically created to embrace the stone’s inner light. A mixed brilliant cut was chosen with great reverence, serving to enhance its natural beauty. Despite the minor inclusions visible upon close inspection, they stand as gentle reminders of its natural origins. Graded as very slightly included at eye level, these inclusions add character without overshadowing the gemstone's innate allure.

What truly sets this sapphire apart is its mesmerizing dance of color— a vibrant bluish green hue that captivates the eye, a rarity among gemstones of this caliber. Unlike its counterparts, abundant and blue, this gemstone boasts a vivid color intensity that communicates the deep whispers of the ocean wrapped in sapling leaf. It stands as a singular example of nature’s capacity for beauty. Measuring an impressive 10.30 x 7.47 x 4.51 mm and weighing a substantial 3.03 carats, its proportions highlight not just its size but its status as one of extraordinary rarity.

Though formed millennia ago, this sapphire's journey is only just beginning. It now awaits to become part of cherished stories, creating connections that transcend time, resonating with those who have come to appreciate its beauty. The journey from the beaches and jungles of Sri Lanka to its finished state embodies the spirit of tradition and the allure of the exotic. At The Natural Sapphire Company, it is our honor to present this faceted wonder— a testament to natural ingenuity and the spirit of craft that breathes life into it once more. Here, this exquisite gem awaits its next, and perhaps greatest chapter, within your story.
