3.16 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This remarkable transparent blue sapphire carries the quiet authority of centuries, a stone of noble lineage and enduring appeal. We present a 3.16 carat round shape sapphire, measuring 8.96 x 8.82 x 5.11 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance scintillation and depth, and finished with an excellent polish that allows light to dance through its facets. Evaluated at eye level the gem is very slightly included, a detail that speaks to its natural origin without detracting from its striking presence. Its vivid color intensity recalls the deep maritime blues of classical Ceylon sources, and its provenance from Sri Lanka aligns it with a tradition of sapphires prized by royalty and clergy for millennia. Heat treatment has been applied to enhance color and clarity, a time honored practice that reveals the stone as an heirloom quality gem, ready to be set into a ring, pendant, or bespoke creation that will be passed down through generations.

Beyond its physical beauty this Ceylon sapphire carries a rich tapestry of metaphysical associations that have been cherished across cultures. Traditionally linked with wisdom and truth, it is believed to sharpen the mind, calm turbulent emotions, and encourage clear communication, making it an apt companion for decision making and heartfelt expression. Many who work with sapphire describe a steadying influence that helps open the throat and third eye energies, supporting honest speech and intuitive insight, while also providing a protective field that wards off negativity and promotes a sense of safety. In the realm of emotional healing this stone is said to soothe anxiety and restore balance, inspiring disciplined action and faithful devotion to personal goals. Worn in daily life or used in meditation the gem is thought to enhance focus, deepen spiritual practice, and assist in the manifestation of long term intentions. At The Natural Sapphire Company we celebrate both the storied past and the living energy of this gem, and we are available to discuss custom settings, certification details, and personal guidance on how to best wear and care for this timeless Ceylon sapphire.
