0.45 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the verdant hills and ancient riverbeds of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, a rare gem begins its journey. Bathed in the tropical warmth and nourished by the rich earth, this exquisite 0.45 carat purple sapphire is born. The island's geological magic infuses every crystal, coaxing out a purple hue both enchanting and profound. As miners discover this hidden treasure, their careful hands lift it from the soil, marking the beginning of its transformation.

Its slightly included clarity adds character and depth, telling the story of its natural beginnings.
