Product description

Long before the dawn of civilization, hidden deep within the Earth's crust, forces beyond our imagination were at work crafting nature's timeless beauty. Nestled within an ancient realm now known as Ceylon, modern-day Sri Lanka, this unique gemstone began its captivating journey. Millions of years ago, under titanic pressures and in the depths of molten magma, this masterpiece started forming layer by layer, painstakingly arranging its crystal lattice until the moment was perfect.

From these primordial origins, our magnificent 2.26 carat greenish blue sapphire emerged. Its delicate cushion shape, with precise dimensions of 8.20 x 6.18 x 4.83 mm, hints at craftsmanship that pays homage to nature's design. The gem dimly glows with a mysterious dark color intensity. The mixed brilliant cut was expertly chosen to maximize the brilliance and fire trapped within the stone over countless eons. More than a mere gem, it is a testament from a bygone era that traveled through volcanic processes eventually finding its home in the serene mines of Ceylon.

At The Natural Sapphire Company, we recognize the distinctions that elevate this gemstone not just in value, but in essence. Its clarity comes under the grading of very slightly included at eye level, preserving a purity that many desire but few possess. This rarity is accented by an unparalleled polish, allowing each facet to act as a window into the endless journeys of history. This sapphire is not merely a specimen; it's a legacy that speaks to both its rugged origins and our expertise in bringing its beauty to light.

By possessing this exquisite greenish blue sapphire, you join an exclusive coterie of connoisseurs who value the authentic and the exceptional. The story it tells is now a part of your story, interwoven with the allure of Ceylon's rich landscapes and cultural heritage. As one of the elite who holds this gem, you embrace a connection with the earth's ancient past, where a modest piece of history rests elegantly upon your person, championed by the impeccable craftsmanship and ethical standards of The Natural Sapphire Company. Each piece we offer is part of a limited collection that speaks volumes, inviting you to personally own a fragment of our planet's grandeur, a tangible reunion of past and present.
