9.04 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the moment this gem formed deep within the ancient metamorphic rock of Ceylon Sri Lanka, it began a journey that speaks to patience and time. Heat pressure and slow geological change coaxed trace elements into a crystal lattice until, over millennia, a vivid blue rough emerged, destined to capture light in a way only true sapphires can. We at The Natural Sapphire Company first encountered this stone in its natural state in a Sri Lankan mining region known for producing some of the world s most coveted blues. At 9.04 carats this oval shaped sapphire carries presence and rarity, a weight that immediately signals premium quality. Stones of this size in a vivid Royal Blue hue are uncommon, and the 13.72 x 10.99 x 6.64 mm proportions allow the gem to be showcased in a range of fine jewellery settings while retaining a balanced and elegant silhouette. The gem was carefully selected for its potential, then entrusted to master cutters who understood both the history of the stone and the need to honor its natural beauty.

In the cutting room the rough was transformed with a mixed brilliant cut that enhances both depth and sparkle, creating lively flashes across the table while preserving a deep royal saturation. At eye level the stone is eye clean, which means it offers a visual purity that collectors and connoisseurs prize, and the excellent polish magnifies the intense color and clean surface. The sapphire received a standard and fully disclosed heat treatment to improve clarity and color stability, a common and accepted enhancement that brings out the best in a Ceylon gem without compromising its integrity. The piece is C.Dunaigre certified, providing independent verification of origin and quality, and reinforcing the authenticity and value of this 9.04 carat treasure. Worn on the hand the gem commands attention without overpowering, a true statement piece for someone seeking a sapphire that combines natural story and crafted excellence. If you are seeking a sapphire whose weight reflects serious investment grade quality, whose story spans ancient earth to precise human artistry, and whose provenance and certification are assured, this vivid blue Royal Blue sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company answers that call.
