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

In the heart of ancient geological formations, where time has been both the maker and recorder of history, this magnificent bi-color sapphire began its journey. Millions of years ago, when the Earth was shaping itself into the wondrous creation we belong to today, extreme heat and pressure combined forces beneath the surface. Deep within the fertile land now known as Ceylon, or Sri Lanka, the elements united in a process as magical as it was meticulous. In a harmony of tectonic plates and volcanic phenomena, the groundwork was laid for the creation of a gemstone of extraordinary beauty.

Eons passed, and with them came slow but profound changes. Earth's crust gently shifted, mountains rose and eroded, rivers wound through changing landscapes, and still, underneath it all, the sapphire matured. Amidst this setting where time pays attention to every detail, a mixture of corundum, infused with trace elements, gave birth to extraordinary colors that flowed and blended like the vibrant cultures and stunning natural vistas of its birthplace. As this geological ballet continued undisturbed, our precious 1.16-carat emerald cut sapphire was quietly growing into the masterpiece it is today.

When at last the Earth relinquished its grip on its beautiful secret—buried for so many millennia—in an act of discovery both careful and reverent, miners in Sri Lanka unearthed a treasure that was destined to capture hearts. Delicately removed from the bedrock that had been its home, the bi-color sapphire emerged clear and captivating. Its unique fusion of hues told the story of its origins, a vibrant dance of colors that could only have been painted by nature's hand. This was not just a gemstone—it was a link to the past, crafted by the Earth itself, calling to be appreciated for its unique beauty and story.

Guided by skilled hands to its final form, the sapphire underwent a transformation dictated by generations of tradition and artistry. The artisans, stewards of ancient knowledge, knew precisely how to reveal the gem's true potential. Carefully cut into the classic elegance of an emerald shape, each facet was meticulously polished to highlight its intense color and perfect clarity. The precision of their craft was a testament to their understanding and reverence for such a once-hidden wonder. And now, as a member of The Natural Sapphire Company's exquisite collection, this sapphire stands ready to find its new custodian. It invites you to continue its journey, promising connection through its beauty, a testament to time and the splendor achieved when nature meets craftsmanship.
