62.18 Ct. Greyish Blue Sapphire Crystal from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This semi transparent greyish blue sapphire from Ceylon Sri Lanka is a rare and striking example of natural beauty and geological character, weighing 62.18 carats and measuring 48.00 x 16.10 x 10.10 mm, and it is offered by The Natural Sapphire Company with complete transparency about its provenance and treatment, no enhancement. The stone is fashioned in a rough crystal cut that celebrates the natural form of the crystal while still receiving an excellent polish that brings forward subtle reflections across its surface, and the medium color intensity gives it a calm and sophisticated blue that reads as greyish blue under many lights. Compared with the uniform, vivid blues commonly marketed after extensive heat treatment, this sapphire retains natural zoning and character that collectors and connoisseurs prize, and its semi transparent clarity allows a soft depth that changes as the viewing angle and light vary. Large, untreated sapphires of this size from Sri Lanka are increasingly uncommon, and the combination of weight, substantial dimensions, and natural state makes this piece especially desirable for clients seeking authenticity rather than artificially enhanced color or clarity.

When you compare this stone to other options in the marketplace, its advantages become clear in quality, value, and uniqueness, and those comparisons help you make an informed choice. Many commercially available sapphires are small, heavily heated to intensify color, or lab grown to achieve consistent hue and clarity, and while such stones have their place, they lack the individuality and natural narrative that an untreated Ceylon crystal offers. Compared with faceted stones that aim for optical perfection, the rough crystal cut here preserves natural terminations and growth features that add to the gem story and create an organic aesthetic that cannot be replicated by synthetic material or aggressive treatments. In terms of value, a 62.18 carat untreated sapphire with an excellent polish and documented origin typically commands premium interest among collectors who understand that rarity in natural condition often outperforms treated stones over time. The medium color intensity and semi transparent nature mean the jewel offers subtlety and versatility, able to complement both high design jewelry where the stone is the focal point and artistic settings that celebrate natural form, whereas highly saturated, treated sapphires can sometimes overpower a design or appear too uniform.

For practical buyers, designers, and investors, this sapphire presents a compelling alternative to mainstream market offerings, and The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind the gem with the expertise and service to support a confident purchase. The piece is ideal for custom commissions where the stone becomes the narrative center, for collectors who value provenance and untreated material, and for jewelers seeking a unique signature element that cannot be duplicated by mass produced or lab created stones. The excellent polish ensures that despite the rough crystal approach the surface reflections are clean and attractive, making the sapphire ready for thoughtful setting work without sacrificing its natural character. Choosing this Ceylon sapphire means opting for an honest, natural example of gem material that speaks to geological history and human craftsmanship, and compared with smaller, treated, or synthetic alternatives it offers a superior combination of authenticity, presence, and long term desirability. If you would like additional measurements, images under different lighting, or advice on settings that highlight the greyish blue tone and semi transparent depth, The Natural Sapphire Company is available to help you evaluate how this exceptional 62.18 carat sapphire could best serve your collection or design project.
