3.17 Ct. Bluish Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

There is a hush to this stone, a small cosmos captured in blue and purple, a soft luminous heart that seems to hold twilight within its facets. This is a transparent sapphire of 3.17 carat, fashioned into an elegant oval shape with dimensions of 9.29 by 7.86 by 5.67 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant cut that marries fire and depth. Its color reads as bluish purple, intense in its color intensity, a hue that shifts like a secret shared between evening and violet, and each facet breathes with an excellent polish that allows light to pirouette and pool. Born in Ceylon Sri Lanka, this sapphire arrives at your hands untouched by enhancement, a natural voice preserved, and its presence is quietly regal, perfect for a piece meant to mark a promise or to become an heirloom of quiet devotion.

Within the luminous body of this gem live tiny signatures that make it unmistakably itself, not flaws to be hidden, but character that tells a story of the earth that formed it. The clarity grade is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, which means when you hold this sapphire close you will find delicate inclusions like fine silk veils and minute pinpoints that scatter like distant stars. These internal whispers catch the light as it moves, turning from faint threads to brightened points, a choreography that confirms the stone is virginal in its beauty, untouched by heat or chemical treatment. Some inclusions sit like the shadowed footprints of formation, faint feather lines that curve and fade, and tiny mineral crystals that glint like hidden treasures. Together these features compose a fingerprint of origin, a natural map that gemmologists and dreamers both understand, pointing back to the ancient, mineral rich soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka and the patient geologic forces that coaxed such color and clarity from deep beneath the surface.

Imagine this sapphire set in a ring, a pendant, a memory, catching morning light like a held breath, or resting against skin like a secret warmed by touch. The mixed brilliant cut ensures scintillation and depth, each angle reflecting flashes of violet and blue, while the excellent polish lets the surface sing with a silky sheen. Because it is unenhanced, its intense color intensity remains the true voice of the stone, a rare purity that collectors prize and romantics adore. At The Natural Sapphire Company we cherish these individual voices, and this gem is a specimen of natural poetry, technical precision, and provenance. It invites a careful setting that honors its oval silhouette and its 3.17 carat presence, a design that will allow the internal inclusions to play openly with light, showing that true beauty often lives where nature leaves its signature. Choose this sapphire and you carry with you a piece of Ceylon s geology, a remembered dusk captured in crystal, a jewel whose whispers will grow louder with every sunrise.
