5.11 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the rich soil of Ceylon Sri Lanka to the skilled hands of our master cutters, this purple sapphire tells a story of journey and care, The Natural Sapphire Company bringing each chapter to life. Formed under ancient pressures, this transparent 5.11 carat oval retains the geological memory of its birthplace in every facet, its dimensions of 11.74 by 9.52 by 5.60 mm recording the gemrough shape that guided the cutter. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to honor that natural form and to amplify the stone s innate gifts, producing crisp facet architectures that return light with both intensity and polish. Eye clean at normal viewing distance, with an intense color intensity and an excellent polish, this sapphire is completely free of enhancement, allowing the original Ceylon character to shine through, The Natural Sapphire Company presenting a gem that feels both timeless and immediate.

In the world of corundums this purple oval stands apart for its reflective behavior, the mixed brilliant arrangement creating lively scintillation that competes with and in some ways exceeds many classic blue sapphires. Compared with common amethyst quartz this sapphire offers far greater brilliance and stronger facet contrast owing to corundum s higher refractive properties, producing brighter flashes and a more saturated visual presence. Against tanzanite this sapphire trades dramatic pleochroic shifts for steadier, crisper reflections, so under changing light the color reads consistently intense rather than shifting dramatically. Versus spinel and other near colorless substitutes this purple sapphire displays more depth of tone and a more luxurious surface shine because of both its cut and its exceptional polish. For a client seeking a natural, unenhanced statement stone that balances fiery life with a deep violet heart, this Ceylon oval captures the rare combination of provenance, transparency, and crafted brilliance, The Natural Sapphire Company inviting you to experience a gem that reflects both earth and artistry.
