1.19 Ct. Purple Star Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This rare oval purple star sapphire weighs 1.19 carats, with precise dimensions of 5.58 x 4.93 x 4.40 mm, a cabochon cut and a translucent body that lets light travel through the gem and reveal a crisp, stellar asterism. The color is a refined medium purple, even and pleasing, and the surface shows an excellent polish that gives the star a luminous, floating quality. Clarity is graded very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the gem retains excellent visual purity to the naked eye while preserving the natural character that collectors value. This sapphire is completely untreated, no enhancement, and its pedigree from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, contributes to a storied provenance that collectors and connoisseurs consistently prize. Each viewing reveals a different intensity in the star, a subtle play between the cabochon dome and the internal silk that creates that rare six ray form when positioned under a single light source.

Owning this stone means joining an exclusive circle of patrons who appreciate authenticity and natural beauty, and The Natural Sapphire Company is pleased to offer this rare treasure as a limited opportunity. Because this is an unenhanced, naturally starred sapphire of Ceylon origin with a finely executed cabochon and superior polish, it is ideally suited for a bespoke commission that honours its unique qualities, whether set in a classic solitaire pendant or a custom ring to showcase the star at its most brilliant. I am available to guide you through design options, certification details, and secure sourcing documentation, and to arrange private viewing by appointment. Pieces of this character and grade are rarely available, and we present them to a select clientele who value rarity, provenance and timeless elegance. If you wish to reserve this purple star sapphire, or to discuss mounting and bespoke design, please contact me at The Natural Sapphire Company and allow us to create an exclusive piece that reflects your discerning taste.
