7.15 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shape blue sapphire weighs 7.15 carats, and measures 13.50 x 9.25 x 7.41 mm, and exhibits a mixed brilliant cut that combines a modified brilliant crown with a complementary pavilion layout to optimize scintillation and light return. The faceting style produces crisp facet junctions and controlled windowing, delivering a balance between pinpoint sparkle and broad flash across the pavilion. Clarity is graded very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, with only minute needle and crystal inclusions that do not detract from transparency or light performance, and the excellent polish enhances facet contrast and optical crispness. Color reads as a vivid blue intensity, with a pure primary blue hue and a medium to medium deep tone that allows both saturation and brightness to coexist, and the material has been professionally heat treated using standard thermal protocols to enhance both hue stability and apparent clarity, a common and accepted enhancement in the trade that produces uniform color distribution and predictable performance in jewelry settings.

When comparing hue and tone to sapphires from other famous locations, this Sri Lankan piece presents a brighter, more lively blue than classic Kashmir stones, which are often noted for their velvety cornflower blue and slightly softer tone, and it carries more luminosity than many Burmese sapphires that tend to sit at a deeper, more saturated royal blue tone. Against Madagascan material, the Ceylon origin here shows a warmer and more vivacious blue, whereas many Madagascan examples can exhibit cooler or slightly steely undertones. Compared to Australian sapphires, which can be darker and inky with higher tone and lower brightness, this stone maintains a clear and open table that emphasizes play of light and color zoning is minimal, resulting in even color distribution. For buyers seeking a gemstone with lively visual presence and technical refinement, this piece from The Natural Sapphire Company offers the desirable Sri Lankan balance of vivid hue, medium deep tone, and exemplary cutting and polish, making it especially suitable for settings that showcase table facing brilliance and faceted dynamics.
