7.06 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the lush and verdant landscapes of Sri Lanka, a journey began millions of years ago, long before human eyes would ever glimpse its beauty. Deep beneath the earth's surface, amidst the rich and fertile grounds of this island, a magnificent sapphire was forming. Time, heat, and pressure were its only companions, shaping it into a stone of profound beauty and unparalleled brilliance. In the region known historically as Ceylon, renowned for producing some of the world's most exquisite sapphires, nature's alchemy crafted this treasured gem. The history of Ceylon sapphires is steeped in centuries of legend and lore, amplifying their allure and mystique. The Natural Sapphire Company cherishes this legacy, meticulously extracting these gifts from the earth to ensure their stories are preserved and celebrated. This particular blue sapphire, AGL certified and weighing an impressive 7.06 carats, is no exception.

Its cushion shape, with dimensions of 10.71 by 10.47 by 7.06 millimeters, exemplifies the traditional elegance that sapphire enthusiasts admire. The gemstone has undergone a mixed brilliant cut, a technique that capitalizes on its inherent brilliance and enhances the play of light entering its facets. This cut captures its vivid color intensity, a trait that experts rate at the very highest level of desirable quality for sapphires. As light dances across its surface, minute inclusions, barely perceptible to the naked eye, reveal the crystal's unique structure. Each tiny mark bears witness to its natural origins, reminding us of the monumental forces required to create such a gemstone. The sapphire boasts an excellent polish, ensuring that each facet gleams with an elegant sophistication, reflecting a spectrum of blues that captivate and enthrall.

This gemstone's ability to metamorphosize under different lighting conditions is nothing short of mesmerizing. In the soft morning light, its hues resemble the tranquil waters of a secluded lagoon, calm and utterly serene. The daylight only enhances its cerulean core, invoking thoughts of hope with its clarity and purity. As the day progresses and the sun's rays shift to afternoon, the sapphire appears to deepen and intensify, as though capturing the sky's myriad shades of blue. Indoor lighting, whether from incandescent bulbs or warm LEDs, unveils yet another side to this multifaceted gem. It gleams with a regal allure, the vivid blue taking on a luxurious, velvety depth as gentle shadows accentuate its cut. In the evening, amidst the glamor of dim settings or candlelight, the sapphire seems to harbor its own light, emanating a subtle, almost ethereal azure glow that feels alive with mystery.

These remarkable traits are part of what makes owning this sapphire via The Natural Sapphire Company such a fulfilling experience.
