6.55 Ct. Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of Sri Lanka, known in ancient times as Ceylon, lies the beginning of an extraordinary journey. This remarkable land, renowned for its lush landscapes and vibrant cultural tapestry, is the birthplace of our 6.55 carat pear-shaped blue sapphire. Here, deep within the earth, the sapphire formed over millions of years, absorbing the rich colors of its surroundings. The crystalline structure slowly emerged, its unique character shaped by the subtle interactions of pressure, temperature, and geological evolution. It is in this mystical setting that our sapphire's story began, and its beauty was foretold.

The sapphire, now a promising gem, was discovered by skilled miners navigating the sapphire-rich veins under the Sri Lankan soil. These experienced craftsmen understand the complexities of gemstone extraction, preserving each sapphire's natural allure with precision. Each gem unearthed here holds the spirit of Ceylon, where blue sapphires have been treasured for centuries as symbols of wisdom and strength. This particular stone, with its compelling dark color intensity, hints at the mysterious depths of the ocean and the timelessness of the night sky, embodying a connection to both the earth and the heavens.

At The Natural Sapphire Company, we cherish the responsibility of transforming this raw natural wonder into a polished masterpiece. Our artisans, armed with expertise and dedication, embraced the gem's striated anatomy to craft its distinctive pear shape.

With an eye-clean clarity mainly evaluated at eye level, the sapphire reveals a flawless surface unmarred by human intervention, showcasing a purity that captures the viewer's admiration instantly.

The final stages of this exceptional journey culminate with the sapphire’s excellent polish, an artful highlight ensuring each facet plays its part in refracting its deep azure spotlight. Its dimensions, precisely cut at 13.61 x 10.16 x 6.72 mm, are a testament to the skillful balance maintained between elegance and presence. Whether set in a deserving piece of jewelry or admired as a standalone, this sapphire is not just a gem, but an heirloom waiting to captivate the eyes and hearts of generations to come.
