3.09 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 3.09 carat oval blue sapphire measures 9.75 by 7.37 by 4.89 millimeters and is cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance color saturation with light return. The gem displays an intense blue color, an eye level clarity described as very slightly included, and an excellent polish that delivers clean facet reflections across the crown and pavilion. Heat treatment has been applied to stabilize and enhance the stone, and the sapphire originates from Ceylon, Sri Lanka. The combination of transparency, careful cutting, and deep, even saturation produces a strong face up presence for a stone of this table size and depth, making the color read vividly without appearing overly dark or windowed.

Compared to typical material in this origin and shape, this sapphire is notable for its simultaneous presence of above three carats weight and unusually intense blue saturation. Ceylon sapphires commonly exhibit attractive cornflower to medium blue tones, often with lighter or more zoned color distribution at comparable sizes, whereas this example retains intense, even color across the table and facets. The clarity grade very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, means the stone is effectively eye clean for most settings, allowing the color and cut to be the primary visual features. The mixed brilliant cut enhances scintillation while conserving color, a useful balance for a larger oval that will be set as a center stone. The dimensions yield a classic, substantial face up size suitable for a proportionate ring or pendant, and the overall finish and polish meet a level expected by discerning buyers and designers. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this gem as a rare combination of weight, color intensity, and clarity from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, suitable for applications where a vivid, transparent blue sapphire of meaningful carat weight is required.
