2.11 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A singular expression of refined taste and quiet power, this marquise purple sapphire invites admiration the moment the light catches its facets. We present a transparent 2.11 carat marquise, measured at 11.20 by 6.06 by 4.41 millimeters, masterfully fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation with elegant length. The color is intense, a rich violet that shifts with movement and light, while the clarity is eye clean when viewed at normal eye level, allowing an unimpeded view into the stone that reveals both depth and life. Excellent polish and expert faceting produce lively return and a silky surface feel, and the gem has been gently heat treated, a standard and stable enhancement that enriches the hue and refines the tone without compromising integrity. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, this sapphire carries the pedigree of a storied origin, a gemological heritage synonymous with fine color and collectors desire, and when set in a bespoke ring or an elevated pendant it will declare an ownership that reads like a private achievement.

Beyond beauty, durability affirms this sapphire as an heirloom quality choice. On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, sapphire rates a nine, second only to diamond at ten, and significantly harder than topaz at eight and quartz at seven, a ranking that ensures excellent resistance to everyday scratching and maintains brilliant polish through years of wear. Corundum, the mineral species of sapphire, combines high hardness with good toughness, making it exceptionally suitable for rings and pieces worn daily, provided classic care is observed and the setting offers protective support for the marquise points. At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate gemstones with provenance, craftsmanship, and enduring appeal, and this 2.11 carat Ceylon marquise is offered for the collector who seeks a jewel that is both sumptuous and sensible.
