6.82 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, lies a land rich with history and natural beauty. It is here, nestled among serene landscapes and ancient mountains, that our story begins. The soil of this island holds a treasure sought after by kingdoms and cultures alike: the exquisite blue sapphire. Within this storied setting, a unique stone was discovered, destined to captivate hearts with its extraordinary allure and timeless beauty.

Our sapphire, a stunning 6.82 carat gem, began its remarkable journey deep within the earth, where it was formed over millions of years. Its cushion shape, measuring 11.14 x 9.45 x 6.73 mm, is a testament to both nature’s artistry and human craftsmanship. Miners, skilled and patient, unearthed this precious stone, catching glimmers of the ocean in its deep blue hue. Its medium intense color intensity vibrates with the very essence of the island’s azure seascapes and sprawling skies.

Once extracted, the sapphire underwent the delicate art of cutting and polishing, bringing forth its innate brilliance and fire. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to enhance its sparkle, orchestrating a dance of light that dazzles and enchants. Every facet was crafted with precision and care, revealing a clarity that whispers of the earth’s secrets — very slightly included, yet captivating. Here, skilled hands worked tirelessly, transforming the rugged stone into a masterpiece, one that speaks volumes with its elegance and charm.

Enhancement through heat treatment refined its natural color and clarity further, a process respected and revered within the gemological world. It is this combination of nature and nurtured perfection that makes our sapphire so extraordinary. The gem, now polished to an excellent finish, captures the light with an unmatched luster, becoming a reflection of dreams, passion, and heritage. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we cherish this journey from raw mineral to resplendent jewel, ensuring its story endures through time.

Today, this sapphire stands ready to join the collection of someone who appreciates its journey as much as its beauty. It is a piece not just to be worn, but to be treasured. Here, culture and craftsmanship unite, embodying the splendor of Ceylon while symbolizing a timeless elegance. Let this sapphire grace your collection or become a meaningful gift, its story entwined with yours, courtesy of The Natural Sapphire Company.
