The excellent polish it possesses enhances the inherent luster of the stone, providing a smooth, glossy surface that enhances its ability to reflect light and display its dazzling star. The origin of this gemstone is Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, a locale that has long been esteemed for producing some of the world's finest sapphires. Sri Lanka’s rich mineral deposits, combined with time-honored gem-cutting traditions, contribute to the creation of gemstones that stand as paragons of natural beauty.
