4.49 Ct. Yellowish Brown Sapphire Crystal from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

From the deep, slow pressures of Ceylon, this translucent yellowish brown sapphire began its journey as a humble crystal, forming over millions of years in pockets of metamorphic rock. Unearthed by small scale miners in Sri Lanka, the crystal arrived to our workshop with its natural prismatic character intact, a testament to geological time and place. At The Natural Sapphire Company we work directly with communities in Ceylon to ensure that each stone is traced from mine to market with respect for people and land. This piece, weighing 4.49 carat and measuring 15.70 x 6.10 x 4.90 mm, carries that provenance in its very structure. Its various shape and rough crystal cut preserve the original personality of the crystal, while an excellent polish brings forward a warm translucence and a tactile, living surface. With a clarity grade of included evaluated at eye level, and a medium color intensity, the sapphire reveals internal stories in its inclusions rather than hiding them. No enhancement has been applied, so you are experiencing the gem exactly as the earth intended.

For the conscious collector this sapphire is a rare and meaningful choice, a natural, untreated treasure from historic Ceylon, a region celebrated for its sapphires for centuries. The ethical sourcing behind the stone matters as much as its beauty, it makes this gem an intentional piece for someone who values traceability, fair relationships with miners, and minimal environmental impact. Its warm yellowish brown tone adapts well to both contemporary and heirloom settings, encouraging designers to honor the crystal form with open back settings, bespoke bezels, or sculptural mounts that let light travel through its translucent body. The visible inclusions, the organic contour, and the polished surface together tell a story of origin, human care, and refined finishing. If you seek a gemstone that bridges ancient geology, responsible sourcing, and distinctive wearable art, this untreated Ceylon sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to carry a piece of the earth with conscience and style.
