Born deep within the ancient metamorphic belts of Ceylon Sri Lanka this transparent green sapphire began its story as trace elements trapped within cooling corundum a slow geological symphony that produced a stone of extraordinary hue. Hand recovered from Sri Lankan gravels by trusted local miners the rough was chosen for its clarity and color and then entrusted to master cutters associated with The Natural Sapphire Company. Meticulously faceted in an oval shape and given a mixed brilliant cut the 2.93 carat gem measures 8.74 by 7.11 by 4.92 mm and displays intense color intensity with a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level. No enhancement was applied this AGL certified sapphire remains wholly natural a rare and honest example of its species. The excellent polish brings brilliance to the surface while the mixed brilliant faceting unlocks lively scintillation and depth of color that can rival the most celebrated stones in museums and private collections. Unlike the legendary Star of India which captivates with asterism this gem charms through transparent saturation and life rather than a surface star. Compared to the Logan Sapphire known for its deep blue intensity this green sapphire offers a greener voice in the chorus of historic gems and compared to the Hope Diamond it shares an ability to stir emotion through color and provenance rather than through sheer folklore or notoriety.

As corundum this green sapphire offers superior hardness and durability compared with many historical emeralds while maintaining a color that echoes the finest greens in gem history. For the collector who seeks a narrative as well as beauty this sapphire offers provenance certification from AGL transparent treatment history and the bespoke craftsmanship of The Natural Sapphire Company so the gem can be set as a ring pendant or a family heirloom. Its origin story from Ceylon the careful cutting and the respect for natural integrity make this stone not just a jewel but a connection to place and time ready to begin its next chapter with you.
