6.48 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This elegant 6.48 carat oval blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka is a superb example of material prized by collectors and connoisseurs, with dimensions of 11.30 by 8.63 by 7.31 millimeters, a mixed brilliant cut, medium intense color intensity, and excellent polish. The mixed brilliant cut combines brilliant crown facets with carefully arranged pavilion facets to maximize scintillation while preserving depth of color, producing lively light return across the table. Transparency is very good, and the clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means that inclusions are minor and do not interrupt the gem overall beauty or its ability to show depth and saturation. This sapphire has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that gently improves color and clarity without compromising long term stability, and it has been finished to an excellent polish that enhances facet crispness and overall brilliance.

For the educated buyer this stone represents a thoughtful acquisition that balances size, colour, and origin, making it a refined addition to a high end gemstone collection. Ceylon sapphires are respected for their lively, medium to strong blue tones and for producing gems that are both visually striking and versatile in design. At 6.48 carats this sapphire occupies a desirable weight class where presence and rarity become meaningful to value, while the mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish ensure attractive light performance in both classic and contemporary settings. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the provenance and presentation of this gem, and we can provide detailed gemological documentation and guidance on settings that will optimize its appearance. Consider a setting in platinum or 18 karat gold to complement the medium intense blue, and expect enduring durability from corundum hardness that suits frequent wear for a signature ring or an heirloom pendant. This sapphire is a well rounded choice for collectors seeking a Ceylon example with strong visual appeal, sound gemological attributes, and the assurance of professional handling and documentation.
