3.48 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional transparent 3.48 carat emerald cut blue sapphire measures 10.84 x 8.35 x 3.96 mm, and it embodies the refined elegance for which The Natural Sapphire Company is renowned. Cut in a classic emerald shape with precise step facets and an excellent polish, this gem presents a vivid color intensity that captures the deep, velvety blues associated with premium Ceylon sapphires. Slightly included when evaluated at eye level, it remains exceptionally clean to the observer and offers a clarity that complements its rich saturation and measured brilliance. Carefully heat treated to deepen and stabilize its extraordinary blue tone, this stone retains a transparent, luminous presence that will sit with composure in a bespoke setting or a signature piece, and because it is a single natural specimen from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, it is not easily replicated.

What gives this sapphire its unmistakable signature is a constellation of natural inclusions that read like a personal fingerprint, confirming its origin and provenance. Delicate silk threads, fine and whisperlike, trace gentle veils across certain facets and soften transmitted light in a way that lends depth and a refined velour effect to the color. Minute crystal inclusions, and the occasional healed feather, create tiny points of internal contrast that come alive under loupe inspection, and subtle growth zoning introduces a layered complexity when the stone is moved in light. These features, preserved intentionally through considered heat treatment, are the hallmarks of an authentic Sri Lankan sapphire, and they are the very details prized by connoisseurs who value character over artificial perfection. Owning this sapphire places you among a rarefied few who appreciate the narrative of a gem, its geological history, and the bespoke nature of a one of a kind treasure. For collectors and clients seeking a singular, museum quality piece with provenance and personality, this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company represents an exclusive opportunity to acquire a naturally signed work of nature.
