4.36 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent, Other certified bluish green, 4.36 carat pear shape greenish blue sapphire from Ceylon, Sri Lanka is a compelling example of natural sapphire quality and character. It measures 11.12 by 7.96 by 6.34 millimeters, and it is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation with a pleasing spread, allowing the medium intense color intensity to read both lively and elegant in hand. The clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads clean and bright to most observers while retaining natural identifying features under magnification. The polish is excellent, and importantly, there has been no enhancement, so the color and clarity you see are wholly natural. Certified as bluish green, this gem displays a refined greenish blue tone that is unusual and desirable, especially coming from Ceylon, whose sapphires are prized for their nuanced color and well-documented provenance. At 4.36 carats the pear shape offers a versatile profile for both solitaire rings and bespoke pendant designs, with the mixed brilliant faceting delivering lively return of light while preserving weight and depth.

When compared to lab grown sapphires, this natural Ceylon stone offers several distinct advantages that matter to educated buyers and collectors. Natural sapphires like this one carry geological history, unique inclusion patterns, and origin documentation that together contribute to their rarity and long term value, factors that lab grown stones cannot replicate. The absence of any heat or other enhancement further distinguishes this gem, because untreated natural sapphires are comparatively rare and command a premium in the market, with stronger prospects for appreciation. Lab grown material has its place for affordable and consistent color, however it lacks the singular provenance and investment potential of a certified, untreated Ceylon sapphire. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize traceability, gemological certification, and ethical sourcing, and this sapphire is presented with those assurances for buyers who seek an enduring, natural example of fine colored gemstone craftsmanship.
