3.06 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 3.06 carat oval blue sapphire from Ceylon measures 10.00 x 7.24 x 5.00 mm, and it has been cut to a mixed brilliant pavilion and crown configuration designed to balance color saturation with scintillation. The mixed brilliant cut integrates triangular and kite-shaped crown facets with step or chevron elements on the pavilion, producing tight facet junctions that control light leakage and emphasize the gems vivid blue hue. The proportions and faceting geometry produce a controlled light path that minimizes windowing while enhancing return in the mid to deep blue channels, the excellent polish across all facets preserves crisp facet planes and contributes to strong contrast and sharp, lively facet reflections. Origin from Ceylon is evident in the stone's vibrant, saturated blue character, and the heat treatment is a common, stable enhancement that optimizes tone and hue without diminishing the sapphire's durability or surface luster.

Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, yet the precision of cutting and the flawless quality of the finish work together to present a visually clean face up appearance from most viewing angles, inclusions are small and well positioned so as not to interrupt the optical performance, instead the faceting pattern skillfully masks internal features while directing color and light for maximum visual impact. From the table, crown angles and pavilion facets, the stone delivers strong blue flashes and controlled extinction, producing a perception of depth and saturation that reads as near perfect in standard wear. The excellent polish and accurate symmetry ensure consistent light return as the gem is tilted or rotated, accentuating pleochroic shifts and internal color zoning in a way that appears dynamic rather than disruptive. This piece exemplifies the craftsmanship standards upheld by The Natural Sapphire Company, combining material quality, precise faceting, and professional finishing so that the gem's technical excellence enhances its beauty from every angle.
