6.68 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Sapphire Company we present a rare and arresting 6.68 carat round blue sapphire that embodies refined taste and effortless distinction. This gem measures 10.90 x 10.70 x 7.04 mm, and its mixed brilliant cut captures and returns light with poised brilliance. The sapphire reveals a medium intense blue tone that speaks of classic elegance without excess, an excellent polish that lends a mirror like finish, and an origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka that consigns it to the ranks of the most desirable sources for collectors and connoisseurs. Heat treated to optimize hue and stability, this sapphire is a naturally formed treasure whose enhancement follows the time honored practice that elevates its innate beauty while preserving its intrinsic character.

What distinguishes this stone beyond its color and cut are the inclusions, subtle signatures that confirm its natural provenance and imbue the gem with personality. Graded as very very slightly included at eye level, the sapphire reads as luminous and near eye clean to the discerning observer, while under closer inspection reveals delicate, feathery veils and fine pinpoint crystals that sit like a fingerprint within the crystal. These fine features catch light in a way that gives depth and internal animation, a soft inner texture that prevents uniformity and adds a living quality to the blue. Rather than detract, these inclusions serve as a natural autobiography, evidence of high pressure, heat, and time, and discreet reminders that this is a singular object grown by the earth itself. For collectors who appreciate authenticity, these internal characteristics are the marks of a genuine Ceylon sapphire, distinguishing it from synthetic counterparts and mass produced stones.

Owning this sapphire is an achievement, a considered acquisition that reflects a refined sensibility and an appreciation for heritage gemstones. Set by our atelier into a bespoke piece, its medium intense color and precise proportions will translate beautifully whether paired with warm gold or cool platinum, and its excellent polish will ensure commanding presence from each angle.
