7.12 Ct. Bi Color Cabochon Sapphire from Burma (Myanmar)

From the riverbeds of Burma, Myanmar, this 7.12 carat semi transparent bi color sapphire began its story as a pulse of molten earth cooling deep beneath ancient mountain ranges, slowly absorbing traces of iron and titanium that would one day reveal bands of color under the open sky. Miners working by hand and eye brought the rough stone to daylight, where its raw form already suggested a unique duality, soft golden tones blending into rich blue whispers. At The Natural Sapphire Company we cherish pieces with character, and this gem spoke of place and process, of monsoon seasons and patient hands. The cabochon cut was chosen deliberately to honor the stone’s natural charm, smoothing its surface into an oval form that emphasizes the interplay between light and color rather than faceting it away. The result is an intimate, tactile jewel that reveals its story slowly, a surface that invites touch and reflection, and a presence that feels both ancient and immediate.

Our cutters and polishers worked to respect every nuance, shaping the stone to the oval dimensions of 12.95 x 11.48 x 4.31 millimeters, preserving the semi transparent nature and the bi color zoning so that each viewing angle reveals a new chapter in its palette. The gem’s cabochon profile and excellent polish accentuate a clarity grade of very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, giving it personality without detracting from an intense color intensity that catches the eye. This sapphire is untreated, no enhancement, a pure expression of Burma’s geology and the workmanship that followed. For those who seek a piece with provenance and presence, this sapphire translates naturally into settings that celebrate its storytelling quality, from simple bezel mounts that protect and focus the dome to artisan rings that frame its dual hues. At The Natural Sapphire Company we stand behind the authenticity and care of every gem, and we welcome your questions about setting options, certification, and the small, meaningful ways this sapphire can become part of your story.
