Such a remarkable sapphire owes its existence to geological processes that date back millions of years. Born beneath mighty mountains, within the earth's mantle, these sapphires began their journey over a billion years ago. High temperatures and colossal pressures initiated the formation of corundum, the mineral family that both sapphires and rubies inherit. Special traces of iron and titanium were responsible for the distinct greenish blue color of this sapphire. It was in these ancient, hidden confines of Ceylon—an esteemed region known today as Sri Lanka—that our sapphire slowly matured over millennia, eventually making its way into the light of discovery. Ceylon is world-renowned for producing sapphires of notable distinction, and the unique elements of its environment contributed fundamentally to the quality and appearance of this precious gem.

With precise cutting, this sapphire was meticulously shaped into a pear form—a symbol of timeless elegance—which enhances the natural brilliance of the stone while maintaining its captivating color saturation. The mixed brilliant cut is a suitable choice for showcasing sapphires as it combines both step and brilliant cuts, elevating the stone's natural fire and maximizing its luminosity. The colored gem experts at The Natural Sapphire Company have ensured that the gem sustains an excellent polish, a critical feature that significantly influences its overall aesthetics by allowing uninterrupted interaction with light. This specific interplay of factors—unparalleled color, clarity, and craftsmanship—solidify the stone as a valuable and sophisticated choice, befitting an educated buyer of gemstones.
