4.50 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Burma (Myanmar)

Long before human hands learned to cut and cherish gemstones, a story began deep in the heart of the Earth, where heat and pressure patiently wrote their signatures into mineral form. Millions of years ago, in the ancient metamorphic belts of Burma Myanmar, aluminum rich rocks met silica poor fluids and the precise conditions needed for corundum to crystallize were met. Tiny impurities of iron and titanium threaded into the growing crystal lattice, coaxing an intense blue that ranged from the depth of twilight to the bright note of a clear summer sky. Tectonic shifts slowly transported that crystal closer to the surface, and as rivers and time wore the mountain flanks away, pockets of blue were revealed to miners who have worked those lands for generations. The gem you see now began as a speck of geometry in that deep, slow world, and it carries in its color and structure a record of heat, pressure, and the particular geology of Burma Myanmar.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that origin by guiding each stone through a careful path from rough to revelation, and this particular GIA certified Blue sapphire, weighing 4.50 carats, is a fine example of that stewardship. The gem is cushion shaped with a mixed brilliant cut, measuring 9.13 x 8.71 x 6.03 mm, and it is transparent with vivid color intensity and an excellent polish that lets light move through and return as brilliant flashes. Its clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone retains exceptional visual purity while carrying tiny natural features that attest to its authenticity and journey. There has been no enhancement, so the color you see is the original gift of the Earth. Our master cutter respected the sapphire's natural crystal habit, using a mixed brilliant pavilion to maximize fire and depth, and a generous cushion crown to celebrate the gem's storied blue. When set, whether as a solitary ring or a statement pendant, this sapphire reads as both ancient landscape and contemporary elegance. If you seek a piece that connects you to deep time and skilled craft, The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to own this Burmese treasure, complete with GIA documentation and our assurance of provenance and care.
