7.31 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 7.31 carat, emerald cut blue sapphire, GGTL certified, is a striking example of Ceylon origin quality that stands apart from many market alternatives, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present it. The stone measures 10.91 by 10.31 by 6.63 mm, and its emerald cut and excellent polish create broad, elegant facets that emphasize the gem's vivid blue hue and deliver a clean, architectural sparkle that differs from the scintillation of brilliant cuts. Compared with typical commercial sapphires, which often sacrifice color uniformity or clarity for size, this sapphire balances an impressive carat weight with an eye clean clarity grade evaluated at eye level, making it rare in the larger sizes. Heat treatment has been applied, a widely accepted and stable enhancement that intensifies the deep Ceylon blue without compromising durability, offering buyers a considerably better value than untreated gems with similar face up color that often command far higher premiums.

Inclusions in this sapphire are not flaws to hide, they are natural signatures that add character and provenance, acting much like a fingerprint that attests to its natural formation in Sri Lankan deposits. While the gem is eye clean, under magnification you will find fine internal features typical of natural Ceylon sapphires, such as delicate silk like rutile patterns and crystalline indicators, which help gemologists confirm origin and authenticity, and which distinguish this stone from synthetic alternatives that lack such telltale markers. When compared to lab created sapphires, this gem delivers the intangible value of natural origin, certification, and the subtle internal story that collectors and connoisseurs prize. For someone seeking an exceptional center stone for a bespoke engagement ring or an heirloom piece, this sapphire offers superior color intensity, reliable clarity, and certified authenticity, making it a smarter long term choice than mass market stones that emphasize flash over genuine rarity.
