6.57 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent 6.57 carat oval blue sapphire, measuring 10.77 x 8.55 x 7.85 mm, combines the best attributes that collectors seek, vivid color intensity, very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level, a mixed brilliant cut, and an excellent polish. Origin Ceylon Sri Lanka, enhancement heat treated, this stone captures the luminous character that has made Sri Lankan sapphires legendary, while offering the transparency and faceted fire that sets it apart from the large, velvety pieces in museum collections. Where a Kashmir sapphire is celebrated for a cornflower velvet and a Star of India is admired for its asterism and sheer scale, this oval mixed brilliant sapphire favors sparkle and wearable elegance, delivering brilliancy that will sing from a ring or pendant. Compared to the immense and storied Logan Sapphire, which reads as an exhibition piece, this 6.57 carat gem offers a more personal and versatile presence, suitable for everyday wear while still carrying the depth and saturation that commands attention.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we present this gem as a superior choice for customers who want historic resonance and modern practicality. The vivid blue tone recalls the noble hues seen in famous royal stones, yet the mixed brilliant cut maximizes light return, producing a lively play that many larger, cabochon stones cannot achieve. The very slightly included clarity, evaluated at eye level, provides assurance of natural character without compromising clarity to the naked eye, and the heat treatment applied is a widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and intensifies color, delivering long term beauty and value. In the current market, where provenance, cut quality, and eye appeal determine long term desirability, this Ceylon sapphire stands out as a balanced offering, combining the romance of historical gems with the practical advantages of a finely faceted jewel. For a customer seeking a statement that is both classic and contemporary, this sapphire offers rare depth of color, precise cutting, and a size that reads substantial without sacrificing everyday wearability, making it an exceptional choice for an engagement ring, a collector piece, or a treasured heirloom.
