6.84 Ct. Yellow Sapphire Crystal from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This translucent Ceylon yellow sapphire carries the quiet dignity of centuries, a stone that feels both ancient and utterly wearable, a testament to the enduring allure of Sri Lankan gem lore. Weighing 6.84 carats, presented in a natural various shape, and measuring 15.17 x 8.99 x 7.06 mm, this rough crystal cut gem retains the character of its formation, its facets and angles suggesting the hands of the earth rather than the file of a lapidary. The clarity is described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, an honest and collectible grade that allows light to travel through with a soft, honeyed translucence. Its color intensity is very light, an invitation to classic settings that favor subtle elegance over loud spectacle, while an excellent polish gives every surface a gentle glow. This sapphire has received no enhancement, and it carries the proud provenance of Ceylon Sri Lanka, a source celebrated through history for gems prized by monarchs and connoisseurs, a place where tradition and a refined palette of color have defined taste for generations.

For those who love to compare, the hue and tone of this piece recall the pale, sunlit yellows of antique Ceylon stones rather than the saturated golden tones more typical of Australian yellow sapphires, Australian stones often read as deeper and warmer, while this Ceylon example favors a delicate, luminous whisper of yellow. Compared to Madagascar yellows which can show a brighter, more intense lemon or canary cast, this sapphire leans toward a softened, tea light hue that suits classical settings and heirloom designs. Paired alongside White Opal, the contrast is poetic, the opal type offering a milky, iridescent field that complements the sapphire without overpowering it, White Opal brings a cool, pearly light that highlights the warm, translucent nature of the sapphire.
