This specimen is a semi transparent yellowish brown sapphire, weighing 6.07 carats, with precise dimensions of 18.20 x 6.30 x 5.80 millimeters. The stone is presented in a various shape that follows the natural elongation of the crystal, and it has been shaped with a rough crystal cut that preserves much of the original form. Color intensity is assessed as medium light, yielding an understated warm tone that reads as a blend of soft yellow with brown overtones. Clarity is graded as included at eye level, and the stone shows internal features that are visible without magnification. The overall surface condition is described as excellent polish, indicating that the external faces have been carefully finished to present a clean surface and to enhance the gem with subtle luster while retaining its natural crystal character.
Origin is confirmed as Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a region known for producing sapphires with a range of lighter and pastel tones, and this sample reflects those geographic characteristics in its hue and transparency. No enhancement has been applied, and the stone is natural and untreated, which is an important consideration for collectors and for applications where provenance and natural state are prioritized. The combination of untreated status, Ceylon origin, and the natural crystal form will be of particular interest to those who seek material that conveys geological context and regional identity. These attributes also influence the way the sapphire may be used in jewelry or kept as a mineral specimen.
Visually, the material displays a semi transparent body with areas of translucence and small dark mineral inclusions distributed through the crystal. These inclusions contribute to the gemologcial fingerprint of the piece and can provide contrast against the warm body color. The rough crystal cut means the shape is irregular, and the stone retains facets and natural terminations that are sympathetic to its growth pattern. The excellent polish along these faces helps to reveal the internal features and to moderate the interaction with light, creating a soft glow rather than a high degree of brilliance. For practical purposes, this stone will present differently under varied lighting conditions, appearing slightly warmer and more brown in incandescent light, and showing its yellowish aspects more clearly in daylight.
From a handling and use perspective, this sapphire is suitable both as a collectible natural crystal and as material for a bespoke jewelry commission where the designer seeks an organic, specimen like aesthetic. Because the sapphire is untreated, any decision to further facet or alter the crystal should be undertaken by a skilled lapidary who can take into account the inclusions and the natural form to maximize yield and preserve the character of the stone. Care recommendations include routine gentle cleaning with mild soap and water, avoiding harsh chemicals and sudden thermal stress, and consulting a professional for any repairs or settings that involve heat. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this sapphire as a distinct example of untreated Ceylon material, with complete specification of weight, measurements, cut, clarity, color intensity, polish, and enhancement status to support informed assessment and selection.
