5.05 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This oval blue sapphire presents a precise balance of size and proportion, weighing 5.05 carat and measuring 11.03 by 8.16 by 6.41 mm. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to exacting standards, producing sharp facet junctions and consistent angles that maximize light return. The gem is transparent with an intense color intensity, and it has an excellent polish that yields crisp facet reflections across the table and crown. Clarity is graded slightly included when viewed at eye level, a condition that does not impede overall transparency, and the stone has no enhancement. This sapphire is from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and the combination of natural origin, precise cutting, and fine finish defines the material quality offered by The Natural Sapphire Company.

The apparent flawlessness of the finish and cutting enhances the sapphire beauty from every angle. The mixed brilliant pavilion distributes light into a lively pattern of scintillation, while the well proportioned crown allows deep, even saturation of blue without dark windowing. The excellent polish produces clean mirror planes that accentuate the stone depth and promote even color delivery when the gem is moved under different lighting. Slight inclusions are small and well positioned, and they are frequently masked by the strong color and facet reflections, so the overall visual impression is one of clarity and brilliance. For use as a center stone the proportions and finish allow predictable performance in a range of settings, with the intense hue remaining consistent at oblique views and face up positions. Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire is an example of how careful cutting and finishing can render a gemstone visually flawless in everyday wear, while remaining fully natural and untreated.
