6.22 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional 6.22 carat cushion shape blue sapphire is a rare offering from The Natural Sapphire Company, presented with refined proportions of 9.28 by 9.00 by 7.85 millimeters, a transparent body, and a mixed brilliant faceted cut that maximizes scintillation and depth. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this gem displays an intense, vivid blue saturation that is immediately arresting, and an excellent polish that yields crisp facet reflections from every angle. Graded as very slightly included at eye level, the clarity allows this sapphire to glow without distraction, while the cushion silhouette and masterful cutting emphasize its size and presence on the hand. This piece has undergone professional heat treatment to enhance its color and stability, a common and accepted practice for fine sapphires, and its quality and provenance make it a gem reserved for collectors and those seeking an heirloom caliber center stone. Availability is limited, there is only one of this exact combination of carat weight, color intensity, cut and origin, and owning it places you within an exclusive circle who appreciates provenance, rarity and artisanal gem cutting.

Beyond beauty, this sapphire is built for longevity, scoring a nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond which measures ten, and considerably harder than commonly used gems such as topaz and quartz which register around eight and seven respectively. That inherent hardness ensures strong resistance to everyday scratching and chipping, making it ideal for engagement rings and frequently worn jewelry, while its substantial dimensions give a commanding profile in bespoke settings. For continued brilliance we recommend professional setting techniques that protect the girdle and corners, and routine gentle cleaning, and our gem specialists at The Natural Sapphire Company are available to advise on the optimal setting to both showcase and safeguard this stone. This is more than a gemstone, it is a singular expression of Ceylonese sapphire beauty, offered to the discerning buyer who understands that true rarity is measured by provenance, perfection and the privilege of ownership.
