12.18 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire Crystal from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the heart of the lush landscapes of Ceylon, a greenish-blue allure was quietly embraced by nature deep within its sacred earth. For centuries, Sri Lanka, formerly known as Ceylon, has been a hallowed ground for the world's finest sapphires. These gemstones cradle the essence of the island's rich culture and storied past, existing in harmony with the vibrant flora and fauna surrounding them.
