0.38 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This beautiful transparent 0.38 carat cushion shape greenish blue sapphire presents elegant proportions, measuring 4.55 by 4.01 by 2.32 mm, and is expertly finished with a mixed brilliant cut to maximize scintillation and overall brilliance. The gem exhibits intense color intensity, an excellent polish, and has been evaluated as slightly included at eye level, which is common and expected in natural sapphires and contributes to the stone character without detracting from its visual appeal when set. This sapphire has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that intensifies color while preserving clarity, and it originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source renowned among connoisseurs for producing sapphires with lively tone and attractive blue green hues. At The Natural Sapphire Company we disclose treatment and origin information transparently, and we present this stone as a refined, natural example suitable for fine jewelry.

From a durability and practical perspective this sapphire scores a 9 on the Mohs hardness scale, making it one of the hardest gem materials available and second only to diamond which rates a 10, this places corundum well above common gemstones such as topaz at 8 and quartz at 7, and ensures excellent resistance to everyday wear and abrasion. The high hardness combined with the excellent polish and precise mixed brilliant faceting means the gem will retain its luster with normal care, and it is an excellent candidate for rings and daily wear pieces when set with thoughtful protection such as a secure prong or bezel setting. Slight inclusions noted at eye level do not compromise structural integrity, and they serve as natural fingerprints confirming that the stone is a genuine corundum crystal from Sri Lanka. For the educated buyer this sapphire represents a strong balance of color integrity, natural origin provenance, and long term durability, and The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind its quality with honest grading details and guidance on setting and care to ensure your investment remains beautiful for years to come.
