4.46 Ct. Green Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

Nestled within the storied lands of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, lies a gem of ancient allure and enduring elegance. The Natural Sapphire Company proudly presents a magnificent 4.46 carat cushion-shaped green sapphire, a true testament to the timeless splendor only nature can cultivate. This enchanting gemstone, with dimensions of 11.48 x 8.41 x 4.44 mm, speaks to centuries-old traditions while offering a brilliance that captivates the heart and imagination alike. Sapphires from this region have long been celebrated for their exceptional quality and vibrant hues that echo the lush landscapes from which they are born.

The intense color intensity of this Ceylon sapphire finds itself compared to emeralds from Colombia, yet it offers a subtle distinction that only a sapphire can impart. Its green is reminiscent of the verdant jungles and tranquil tea plantations of its homeland, a color as rich and inviting as the isle's own legendary heritage. Unlike the more muted tones often seen in Australian cousins, this sapphire boasts a full-bodied intensity more akin to the famous greens found in Zambia's most cherished stones. Yet, it holds a unique allure all its own, bursting with a radiance that those familiar with the finest gemstones will truly appreciate.

With its mixed brilliant cut and excellent polish, this green sapphire is carefully crafted to maximize its natural beauty. Each facet, meticulously shaped, reflects light in a dazzling display that evokes images of sunlit forests and emerald seas. Its clarity grade, very slightly included and evaluated at eye level, serves as a gentle reminder of its earth-born origins with subtle inclusions that whisper tales of its volcanic birth. A piece from The Natural Sapphire Company provides not only an opportunity to possess a rare gemstone but also a chance to be part of a storied legacy cherished through generations.
