3.13 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional pear shape sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka weighs 3.13 carats, measures 11.43 x 8.43 x 4.62 mm, and carries a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation with a deep, crystalline window into its heart. Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this stone displays a vivid color intensity that reads as a pure, saturated blue with subtle navy undertones when viewed in daylight, and a luminous cornflower flash under incandescent light. The polish is excellent, the facets sit like miniature mirrors that play with light at every turn, and the overall transparency is beautiful, with a clarity grade of very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which preserves both brilliance and the gemstones natural signature. This is a gemstone for a collector who seeks rarity, for a client who prefers a single focal stone that reads as both bold and refined, and for a jeweler who intends to create a bespoke setting that honors a rare origin and a distinct personality.

What sets this sapphire apart and gives it an unmistakable signature are its inclusions, seen not as flaws but as a fingerprint from the earth that anchors the gem to a single time and place. Within the pavilion and along a gentle color banding near the girdle, there is a delicate network of silk like needles that refract light into a soft scintillation, a whisper of texture that softens the blue while adding luminous depth. Scattered among these silky veins are pinpoints of tiny mineral crystals, each one catching light like a distant star, and a few minute negative crystals that create tiny, watery windows into deeper blue. Together these features produce a layered depth, a sense of movement when the gem is tilted, and a pattern that will never be matched by any other sapphire, making this stone an identifiable trademark for a discerning owner. The inclusions also animate the mixed brilliant cut, guiding light into pockets of intense color, and creating flashes of royal blue and inky violet that shift with the slightest motion.

This sapphire has been heat treated, a traditional practice that enhances color and clarity while preserving the gems natural character, and its Ceylon provenance speaks to a long heritage of fine, collectible sapphires.
