7.26 Ct. Grey Cabochon Sapphire from Burma (Myanmar)

Imagine a night sky folded into something small enough to cradle between two fingers, imagine the hush of a first encounter, the slow, then certain pulse of recognition. This is the feeling that arrives with a single semi translucent grey sapphire from the heart of Burma Myanmar, offered with care by The Natural Sapphire Company, a jewel that seems to have stored a whisper of moonlight within its depths. At 7.26 carats this fancy shaped treasure carries weight without ostentation, a presence that is both intimate and grand. The cabochon cut gives it a soft, domed silhouette, a surface that invites the eye to travel, to discover the layered stillness within. Its soft grey is not absence of color, but a quiet chorus of tones that shift with every tilt. It is a stone that promises stories, that waits for a setting and a hand to complete its meaning.

Measured with patience and exacting care, the sapphire is 11.92 x 10.63 x 4.77 mm in dimension, a compact temple of mineral elegance, shaped to balance light and shadow. Its clarity grade is very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, a natural fingerprint that testifies to its origin and to the earths own hand in its creation, each subtle inclusion a proof of authenticity that makes the stone more honest and more tender. The color intensity is intense, a phrase that in this case means the grey voice of the gem speaks clearly and fully, neither washed out nor masked, a strong and noble tone. The polish is excellent, the surface smoothed to a luminous finish that draws the fingertips and reflects the world like a soft mirror. No enhancement has been applied, the sapphire has not been heated or treated, it arrives in its natural state, a pure offering from its Burmese birthplace, an unaltered record of time and pressure and rare chemistry.

When you lift this sapphire into light, a quiet performance begins, veins of cloud and silver moving across its dome, a dance that is at once gentle and hypnotic. Semi translucence allows for a sense of depth without the full reveal, like a secret kept just beneath the surface, visible only when you choose to look closely. Imagine this stone set into an engagement ring that favors soul over flash, imagine it as the heart of a pendant that rests over the sternum where promises circulate and breathe. The fancy shape gives a designer freedom to play, to cradle the cabochon in curves of gold or cool white metal that will contrast and sing against its grey. Because it is not enhanced, its provenance and character can be entrusted to future heirs with confidence, a legacy stone from Burma Myanmar that carries with it the story of the land it came from, the hands that mined and polished it, and the care of The Natural Sapphire Company that presents it.

There are fewer things more intimate than choosing a gem to mark a turning point in life, jewelry that will witness vows and quiet mornings alike, and this sapphire offers a rare temperament that is both grounding and romantic. It will respond to light and to touch, to the slow seasons of wear and the bright moments of celebration, keeping memory and meaning in its gentle grey heart. If you envision a piece that reads as timeless and unusual, that combines an intense color voice with a cabochon softness, this 7.26 carat, 11.92 x 10.63 x 4.77 mm Burmese sapphire with very slightly included clarity at eye level and excellent polish, no enhancement, may be the singular stone you have been seeking. Allow The Natural Sapphire Company to guide you in imagining the perfect setting, to answer questions about provenance and care, and to help you bring this luminous fragment of the earth into a life where it can witness your most cherished moments.
