3.06 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite transparent 3.06 carat oval blue sapphire measures 10.96 x 7.77 x 4.17 mm, and it exemplifies the balance of gemological quality and aesthetic refinement that discerning buyers seek. The mixed brilliant cut marries a faceting scheme designed for intense light return with an elegant oval outline, producing strong scintillation and a lively face up presence. The color intensity is described as intense, and the hue from Ceylon Sri Lanka offers the classic, vivid blue that collectors and connoisseurs prize. Clarity is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, meaning minor internal features are present under magnification but do not detract from its appearance to the unaided eye, and the excellent polish assures crisp facet junctions and mirrorlike surfaces that maximize brilliance and color saturation. The sapphire has been heat treated to improve color uniformity and stability, a widely accepted and fully disclosed enhancement in the trade, and its Ceylon origin contributes to provenance and market desirability.

From every viewing angle this stone reads as flawless to the eye, the combination of transparency, precise cutting, and superior polish enhancing its beauty in three dimensions. The mixed brilliant pavilion and carefully proportioned crown focus light back through the table while the oval shape elongates the visual field of blue, creating depth and movement with each turn. Because the stone is eye clean to most observers, the intense saturation is uninterrupted by obvious inclusions, which makes the color appear more pure and vibrant under both natural and artificial lighting. For an educated buyer the attributes add up to tangible value, the 3.06 carat weight providing a notable presence for fine jewelry, the Sri Lankan origin conferring a desirable geographic signature, and the documented heat treatment aligning with industry norms while maintaining long term durability. The Natural Sapphire Company selects and certifies stones with attention to these details, and this sapphire represents a rare opportunity to acquire a well proportioned, expertly polished example that will perform beautifully in custom settings or as an investment grade piece.
