This sapphire began its life deep within the mineral rich soils of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a place renowned for centuries for producing sapphires of exceptional character. Picture experienced miners working in modest camps, reading the land with skills passed down across generations, sifting alluvial gravels and examining the matrix with practiced hands. In that landscape a rough crystal was found, its potential visible to those who know how to read subtle glows beneath the surface. The journey from the mine to our studio was deliberate and ethical, with each step documented and respected. The Natural Sapphire Company sources stones with attention to responsible practices and transparency of origin, so you can be certain that the path this gem took honors both the land and the people who extracted it.

After the gem was recovered, it entered the world of the lapidary, where the decision to cut for color, clarity, and carat weight was made with care. The choice of an emerald cut was intentional, to showcase the purple hue in broad, serene planes, allowing light to travel through the gem and reveal its transparent nature. During cutting the proportions were carefully balanced to achieve the final dimensions of 8.36 by 6.14 by 4.41 mm, optimizing visual size on the hand while preserving the integrity of the crystal. The result is a stone that is eye clean at typical viewing distances, a testament to both the quality of the rough and the skill of the cutter. There has been no enhancement of this sapphire, you are receiving a natural color and structure as formed by nature and revealed by expert hands, and the excellent polish ensures crisp facet junctions and bright, lively reflections that elevate the stone beyond simple color.
