2.22 Ct. Purplish Blue Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Sapphire Company I am pleased to present a superb transparent oval purplish blue sapphire weighing 2.22 carats, a weight that immediately sets this stone apart from the many smaller and less significant sapphires on the market. Measuring 9.05 by 7.01 by 4.06 mm, this gem benefits from a mixed brilliant cut that maximizes face up presence and light return, giving a lively, jewel like sparkle that rivals larger but less well cut stones. The stone is eye clean when evaluated at eye level, which is unusually fortunate at this weight, and combined with vivid color intensity and an excellent polish it offers a purity and brilliance that many comparable sapphires lack. Origin Ceylon Sri Lanka, heat treated enhancement only, this sapphire demonstrates the finest combination of natural origin, skilled cutting, and stable enhancement that collectors and designers prefer.

Weight matters in sapphires because value and rarity do not scale linearly, heavier stones become disproportionately rarer, especially when they retain vivid color and eye clean clarity. In everyday comparisons many 2 carat plus sapphires show visible inclusions, less saturated hues, or poor cutting that reduces their impact. This 2.22 carat Ceylon sapphire avoids those compromises, giving you the advantage of a significant carat weight that still reads clean to the eye, and that carries premium price appreciation potential compared with multiple smaller stones whose combined weight is often less desirable. The mixed brilliant cut is a deliberate choice to enhance brilliance over the table, and the dimensions give a comfortable presence for a ring center or a pendant focal point, offering more visual weight than many stones with similar carat weight but shallower proportions.

When making a choice between this sapphire and other options on the market consider that you are buying more than carat weight, you are buying balanced rarity, origin reputation, cutting quality, and eye clean clarity. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the gem with transparent information, and this purplish blue Ceylon sapphire represents an exceptional value for its class, combining a collectible weight with vivid color and excellent polish. For clients seeking a standout center stone that will wear beautifully and retain desirability, this 2.22 carat eye clean vivid sapphire is a superior and rare offering.
