9.82 Ct. Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the ancient soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka this sapphire began its long passage, a crystal formed over millions of years, nourished by heat and pressure deep beneath the earth, then brought to light by skilled hands that have worked the island for generations. At nearly ten carats, this GRS certified, transparent Vivid Blue Royal Blue sapphire is exceptional in both size and color, the kind of find that rarely emerges from Sri Lankan gravels. Our team at The Natural Sapphire Company selected the rough because it showed an unusually intense, pure blue even before cutting, a promise that only the most careful cutting could reveal. The mixed brilliant pear shape, measured at 9.82 carats, and 15.45 by 10.68 by 7.78 mm, was chosen to balance depth of color with lively brilliance, and the excellent polish achieved by our master cutters draws light through every facet, amplifying the stones vivid color intensity.

Every step of the creation was intentional, the clarity grade very slightly included evaluated at eye level noting the gems natural character while preserving splendid transparency. Heat treated to enhance stability and color uniformity, this sapphire retains the rare, royal tone that sets it apart from more common cornflower or medium blues, and the GRS report confirms its origin and lab color classification as Vivid Blue Royal Blue, a distinction that collectors and connoisseurs prize. Wearing this gem is wearing a story, from the riverbeds of Ceylon to the careful hands in our workshop, a narrative of geology, craftsmanship, and tradition. For those seeking a center gem that combines rarity, presence, and the deep cultural resonance of classic blue sapphires, this pear shaped 9.82 carat stone is an opportunity seldom presented, ideal for a statement ring or an heirloom pendant that will carry its provenance and beauty forward for generations.
