6.23 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional, transparent, GIA certified blue sapphire weighs 6.23 carats, and it is presented in a radiant shape with dimensions of 11.84 x 8.56 x 6.53 mm. The stone exhibits a vivid color intensity that immediately distinguishes it from the more common, paler blue sapphires on the market, and its clarity is graded eye clean, evaluated at eye level. The radiant cut and excellent polish work together to return light with crisp, lively flashes, producing a modern brilliance that rivals and in many cases surpasses more traditional cuts. Importantly, this sapphire is from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and it comes with no enhancement. When you compare this gem to many available options that have been heat treated or otherwise enhanced to improve color or clarity, the rarity of an untreated, vivid blue sapphire of this size becomes clear. The GIA certification provides independent verification of weight, origin, color intensity, clarity, and the absence of enhancement, offering the kind of trust that many sellers promise but few can substantiate.

When placed alongside other market offerings the advantages of this sapphire are easy to articulate, and they are the reasons collectors and lovers of fine gemstones often choose The Natural Sapphire Company. Many sapphires offered at similar sizes have been heat treated to deepen tone, or they exhibit body color that shifts to a less desirable gray or inky blue under certain lighting. Others show visible inclusions at eye level, which can interrupt the clean plane of color that collectors prize. This 6.23 carat Ceylon stone combines a rare, vivid hue with an eye clean clarity that preserves color saturation without compromising transparency. The radiant cut chosen here is calculated to maximize face up spread and scintillation, which means it looks larger and livelier than many stones of the same carat weight cut into deeper or less efficient shapes. The excellent polish enhances the gem’s surface finish and contributes to brighter, sharper reflections when compared to stones that show poor facet junctions or dull luster. Against lab grown sapphires and lower quality natural stones, this gem retains the intrinsic value and provenance that informed buyers seek, while offering aesthetic performance that competes with the finest natural sapphires available today.

There is also an emotional and romantic story woven into the color and clarity of this sapphire, a story that can become part of your own narrative if you choose to make it yours. Imagine a moonlit harbor in Ceylon, where the ocean reflects a deep, captivating blue, the blue of a promise that is steady and true. The vivid blue of this sapphire recalls that horizon, a color that seems to hold a tide of memory and devotion within its facets. Its eye clean clarity speaks to transparency in a relationship, the kind of honesty and openness that lets light pass through without obstruction. The radiant cut amplifies this symbolism, scattering light in a way that mirrors how love can radiate outward from a single moment of commitment. A 6.23 carat sapphire carries presence and weight in the hand, a measured heft that can stand in for the seriousness of intention when given as an engagement gem or a lifetime gift. Originating in Sri Lanka, a land where sapphires have played roles in royal jewelry and enduring cultural stories, this stone invites a romantic legacy, an heirloom in the making that will retain its story as it passes through generations.

From a practical perspective this sapphire is an outstanding candidate for a bespoke engagement ring, a striking solitaire pendant, or a refined three stone design with accent diamonds that accentuate the vivid blue without competing with it. The measurements of 11.84 x 8.56 x 6.53 mm give a substantial face up presence that will read larger on the finger or in a setting than many stones of comparable carat weight, and the eye clean clarity ensures that settings such as low profile bezels or open four prong mounts will display the stone with maximum light performance. Compared to purchasing multiple smaller stones to achieve scale, a single 6.23 carat untreated sapphire of vivid color offers a purer expression of hue and a superior per carat value when provenance and certification are taken into account.
