22.21 Ct. Purple Sapphire Crystal from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you first hold this purple sapphire, time seems to slow, as if the moment itself wants to honor the memory you are about to create. This is a truly rare, translucent 22.21 carat gemstone, cut in a beautiful rough crystal style that celebrates the natural personality of the stone. Its various shape, together with the dimensions of 26.48 by 17.01 by 9.86 mm, gives it an assured presence that speaks of quiet luxury and deep feeling. Sourced from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire arrives unaltered by treatments, enhancement free, and polished to an excellent finish, so the light that plays within it is honest, uncontrived, and utterly captivating.

Look closely and you will discover a warmth that only a natural gem can convey, a medium light color intensity that leans into a tender, romantic purple, the kind of hue that makes people pause to admire and to ask the story behind it. The clarity is described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone retains remarkable visual purity while still carrying the fingerprints of its journey beneath the earth. The rough crystal cut allows internal flashes and subtle depth to reveal themselves differently from every angle, inviting intimate moments of wonder for the wearer and those who appreciate authentic beauty. Paired with a White Opal in a bespoke setting, this sapphire becomes a conversation between two natural wonders, one offering translucent fire and the other offering opalescent light.

For the conscious collector, provenance matters as much as beauty, and this sapphire embodies values you can cherish. Originating in Ceylon, Sri Lanka, it comes from a country with a long, storied relationship with sapphires, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we are committed to ethical sourcing, transparent supply chains, and respectful relationships with the communities where our gems are found. No enhancement means no undisclosed treatments, so what you see is what you are choosing to carry forward into your life and into future generations.

Imagine this stone as the center of a meaningful design, a ring or pendant that serves as a promise, a celebration, or a memory preserved in color. Its generous size and evocative tone lend themselves to minimalist settings that let the sapphire shine, or to artful combinations where a White Opal complements its purple depths and creates a soft counterpoint of light. For the environmentally thoughtful buyer, such pairings allow you to build a collection that reflects your values, one that favors pieces with traceable origin and minimal interference. Each time you wear this sapphire, you will be reminded that beauty can coexist with responsibility, that luxury can be thoughtful, that an heirloom can begin with a principled choice.
