3.39 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Thailand

This cushion shape blue sapphire began its story deep in Thailand, a land with a long history of sapphire mining and expert gem cutting, and the piece you see embodies both the earths patience and human craftsmanship, weighing 3.39 carats and measuring 8.64 by 7.98 by 5.26 millimeters, faceted into a mixed brilliant cut that was deliberately chosen to marry depth of color with lively scintillation, the clarity is described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the color intensity is vivid, the polish is excellent, and the stone has been heat treated to stabilize and enhance its natural blue, at The Natural Sapphire Company we track provenance and work with experienced cutters in Thailand to preserve as much of the roughs natural character as possible while revealing the internal glow that makes each sapphire unique, as this stone transitioned from rough to polished gem, cutters balanced pavilion angles and crown facet patterns to retain saturation while allowing multiple planes of light to dance across the table.

Seen beside more commonly encountered gemstones this sapphire displays a different kind of brilliance, diamonds dazzle with high dispersion and white fire, but this sapphire captivates with deep, saturated color and a velvety play of light that feels more regal than fiery, compared with lighter blue gems like aquamarine or blue topaz this sapphire holds color under varied light, thanks to its vivid intensity and the mixed brilliant cutting style that returns light with controlled flashes and scintillation, the cushion shape softens the geometry and helps concentrate color toward the center, while the mixed brilliant pavilion gives lively sparkle along the girdle, the net effect is a gemstone that reads as both luminous and substantial on the finger, the very slightly included clarity means the gem retains excellent transparency and brilliance at normal viewing distances, inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the overall presence, for those seeking a centerpiece that stands apart from more common stones this sapphire offers a storied origin, expert cutting, and a depth of blue that announces itself without shouting, The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to offer this Thai origin sapphire as a testament to nature, skill, and enduring beauty.
