3.06 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional, transparent Royal Blue sapphire is GIA certified, weighing 3.06 carats, cut into an elegant oval shape with dimensions 9.40 x 7.49 x 5.25 mm, and finished with a mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish. The clarity is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the color intensity is intense, and the gem has been heat treated to reveal its purest tones. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this stone presents a luminous royal blue that is brighter and more lively than the velvety cornflower blue of Kashmir sapphires, and it carries a clarity and transparency that differs from the often saturated, deeper Burmese stones. Compared to Australian and Madagascan sapphires, which can lean towards inky or teal tones, this Ceylon sapphire shows a clean, vivid blue with a crystalline brightness that makes each facet sing, and because it is GIA certified, its provenance and quality are documented for the discerning collector.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this sapphire as a rare opportunity for collectors and connoisseurs who seek an elite, timeless piece, and because fine Ceylon sapphires in this size and tone are increasingly scarce, owning this gem places you among a select group. The hue sits between the tranquil, airy blues admired in Sri Lankan classics and the saturated depths of Burmese stones, while the tone remains more vivid and open than many Montana or Australian examples, offering a balance of richness and light that is exceptionally wearable. The mixed brilliant cut amplifies the stone's intense color and internal brilliance, creating flashes of deep royal blue and lighter cornflower notes as it moves, and the very slightly included clarity confirms natural origin while preserving eye clean appeal. For clients seeking a bespoke setting or a bespoke engagement ring, this sapphire is a singular canvas that invites expert design, and The Natural Sapphire Company is ready to guide you through custom mounting options to ensure this rare Ceylon Royal Blue becomes a treasured heirloom.
