3.69 Ct. Bluish Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional, transparent, three point six nine carat cushion shape sapphire offers a rare bluish purple hue that immediately marks it as a collector quality gem, and it is available now from The Natural Sapphire Company. Measuring eight point nine three by eight point seven four by four point seven six millimeters, this stone has been carefully fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that balances depth with scintillation. Evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, it achieves a clarity that is extraordinarily clean for a sapphire of this size, and its intense color intensity is complemented by an excellent polish that allows light to penetrate and return with a lively, velvety glow. Originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and offered with no enhancement, this sapphire stands among the most desirable examples of natural, untreated material, a trait that immediately elevates its rarity and prestige.

Compared to more common gemstones, this sapphire distinguishes itself in both color and light performance. Unlike blue topaz or aquamarine which often read as glassy and pale at larger sizes, this Ceylon sapphire displays a concentrated, saturated tone that produces internal depth and a changing blue violet personality as you move the stone. Compared to amethyst, which can show strong purple but lacks the refractive strength, this sapphire delivers richer color with a denser, gemlike presence. Even when set against the crisp brilliance of diamond, the effect is complementary rather than competitive, diamonds returning white light and sparkle, while this sapphire returns a colored brilliance and a soft, luminous fire from within the pavilion that is impossible to replicate in treated stones. For the connoisseur seeking something quietly majestic and undeniably rare, this cushion sapphire is a statement of refined taste, a piece that will be treasured as an heirloom.
