2.05 Ct. Bi Color / Parti Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 2.05 carat Asscher octagon shaped bi color parti sapphire measures 6.93 x 6.86 x 4.26 mm and is faceted with a classic Asscher cut, presenting a precise step facet arrangement and clipped corners that enhance both color and light performance. This stone is graded with a clarity of very slightly included evaluated at eye level, a vivid color intensity, and an excellent polish, attributes that contribute directly to visual appeal and market value. The sapphire originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source historically associated with high quality cornflower and violet blue material, and it has been heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement used to intensify hue and clarity while preserving natural origin and crystal integrity. For an educated buyer, the combination of a rare bi color or parti distribution in a well proportioned Asscher cut, together with strong polish and minimal eye visible inclusions, creates a balance of aesthetic rarity and practical wearability.

Under bright daylight or cool natural light the gem reveals its full, vivid blue and violet spectrum, with the crisp step facets producing broad flashes of evenly distributed color and a controlled mirror like brilliance rather than the small scintillation associated with brilliant cuts, under direct sunlight the color deepens and flashes of saturated blue appear between the step planes producing dramatic contrast, under warm incandescent light the stone shifts toward richer violet and warmer blue notes, revealing pleochroic tendencies that make the parti zoning more apparent, under modern LED lighting with a cool white temperature the sapphire reads as a pure intense cornflower blue with strong internal reflections and excellent color saturation, in low ambient or candlelight the depth of tone becomes velvety and concentrated, making the stone appear darker yet still revealing its inner flashes when tilted. The very slightly included clarity grade ensures that any minor internal features do not detract from transparency or durability, and the excellent polish guarantees crisp facet junctions and superior light return. At The Natural Sapphire Company we select and present this gem for connoisseurs who value documented origin, precise cutting, and the subtle interplay of color and light that defines high quality Ceylon sapphires.
