1.10 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This is a beautiful transparent 1.10 carat round bluish green sapphire, carefully faceted in a mixed brilliant cut to balance color and sparkle. The stone measures 5.99 x 5.95 x 3.96 mm, giving it a depth that optimizes light return while preserving its rich, dark color intensity. Cut and excellent polish allow the gem to display lively scintillation and a velvety teal hue that shifts between blue and green depending on lighting. This sapphire is natural and untreated, with no enhancement, and it originates from Ceylon Sri Lanka, a region renowned for producing sapphires with saturated, complex tones. On the Mohs hardness scale this sapphire carries the durability of corundum, making it an excellent choice for everyday jewelry and a lasting investment for an informed buyer.

The clarity of this gem is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and those internal features are meaningful and desirable characteristics rather than flaws. Under magnification you will see delicate inclusions such as fine needles and minute crystals, together with subtle growth zoning, that serve as the stone s natural fingerprint. These inclusions confirm the sapphire s natural origin and add character, helping to distinguish this particular gem from treated or synthetic material. They have been retained without compromising the gem s transparency or brilliance, and they provide reliable markers for identification and future appraisal. For the educated buyer, the combination of a prestigious Ceylon origin, natural untreated color, a thoughtful mixed brilliant cut, excellent polish, and the presence of natural inclusions makes this sapphire a rare and attractive choice. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind this gem with accurate grading and provenance information, and we welcome inquiries about viewing, setting options, and certification to ensure your purchase meets exacting standards.
