0.85 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

If you are searching for a truly unique gem for an engagement ring or a standout piece for a collector, this transparent 0.85 carat asscher octagon shape bi color sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka answers that need beautifully. The precise asscher cut showcases crisp step facets and an elegant pavilion, measuring 5.32 by 5.32 by 2.94 mm, with an excellent polish that enhances the gem clarity and face up brightness. The stone displays a charming bi color effect, shifting between serene blue and warm golden tones with medium light color intensity, and offers very slightly included clarity evaluated at eye level which reads as clean and clear to most viewers. This sapphire is completely natural, with no enhancement, making it an honest and enduring choice for someone who wants authenticity, provenance, and a stone that tells a story with every turn.

Practical durability matters when choosing a gem for daily wear, and this Ceylon sapphire performs exceptionally, because on the Mohs scale it ranks at 9 out of 10. That means it is second only to diamond which is 10, and it is noticeably harder and more scratch resistant than common gems such as quartz which is 7, this high hardness makes the sapphire ideal for settings that will see regular use, including engagement rings and everyday pendants. The sturdy nature of sapphire combined with the asscher cut ensures the step facets remain sharp over time, preserving the gem geometry and its bi color drama. At The Natural Sapphire Company we recommend protective settings that complement the stone profile, for example bezel or four prong designs that both showcase the asscher lines and guard the corners, and we can discuss fittings that emphasize either the blue or the golden side depending on your personal style. If you seek a rare, natural Ceylon specimen that balances beauty, durability, and ethical sourcing, this asscher octagon bi color sapphire is a refined solution that ends your search, and we are ready to help you make it part of a meaningful piece.
