2.04 Ct. Black Star Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This listing presents one beautiful opaque 2.04 carat round black star sapphire, measuring 7.25 x 7.28 x 3.22 mm, fashioned as a cabochon to best display its asterism. The stone is described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which in star sapphires often contributes positively to the sharpness and visibility of the star, as fine rutile needles align along crystallographic directions to produce the six ray asterism. The color intensity is dark, offering a deep and consistent body tone that enhances the contrast of the moving star, and the finish is an excellent polish that gives a smooth reflective surface and reduces visual distractions from surface blemishes. This gem has received no enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a historic source known for producing fine quality star sapphires, which adds provenance and collector appeal. The round shape and precise cabochon proportions allow the star to center and roam smoothly under light, making it highly suitable for classic solitaire or bezel settings where the asterism can be appreciated.

For buyers familiar with gem grading, the combination of natural asterism, untreated status, Ceylon origin, and excellent polish defines the stone as a valuable specimen for both collectors and fine jewelry designers, particularly those seeking a natural, untreated star sapphire with strong visual impact. For reference, opal type White Opal is noted among our offerings, and White Opal typically exhibits a pale body tone with a play of color that contrasts with the deep body color of this black star sapphire for paired or complementary designs. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize transparent sourcing and will provide gemological documentation upon request, and we recommend gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft cloth to preserve the cabochon surface, avoiding harsh ultrasonic or steam cleaning when in doubt due to internal silk or natural inclusions. This black star sapphire combines rarity, natural formation, and classical cutting technique, making it an excellent choice for an educated buyer seeking authenticity, provenance, and a dramatic, wearable example of natural asterism.
