2.46 Ct. Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the verdant hills of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, a journey begins deep within the earth, where nature's wonders reside quietly until uncovered. Our stunning transparent 2.46 carat oval-shaped purple star sapphire originates from this lush, storied land. Its dimensions, measuring 6.18 x 6.04 x 6.39 mm, encapsulate a timeless essence. As they bring it to the surface, miners reveal this gift shaped over centuries, its cabochon cut resembling ancient domes crafted by time and pressure, accentuated by a mystical star that dances across its surface. This sapphire is a celebration of nature’s grace, emerging from the heart of the earth to become a beacon of beauty.

Cabochon cutting grants the sapphire a chance to shine differently. Unlike traditional faceting, the smooth, polished surface highlights an enchanting play of light that reveals the gem’s natural asterism—a luminous star. Our artisans at The Natural Sapphire Company painstakingly insure each curve is precise, revealing the medium intense purple hue that captivates at first glance. Slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the gem's inclusions tell a tale of its natural origin. Each element within this star sapphire whispers its history, promising a connection that bridges the ancient with the contemporary.

Crafted with excellence, this sapphire moves through a narrative of transformation. Each stage, from its excavation to its expert handling, is a testament to our passion for these dazzling stones. Our commitment to quality is evident in the gem's excellent polish, which maximizes its radiant luster. Like the stars that once guided travelers, the star in this sapphire serves as both a guide and a guardian, infusing its wearer with a sense of celestial wonder and earthly resilience.

The journey of this purple star sapphire does not end at the hands of our artisans. Instead, it seeks a new chapter as part of your personal story. Imagine its brilliance catching the sun or gleaming softly in candlelight, always with an ethereal charm that traces back to its Ceylon origins. At The Natural Sapphire Company, our passion is in cultivating these stories, bringing them from the earth to your collection, where they find new meaning and purpose.

This gemstone transcends the ordinary through its geometric artistry, designed to allow maximum light play and color intensity. It serves as a touchstone of natural elegance, offering you not just a gem, but a piece of earth’s timeless narrative. As you hold this star sapphire, remember it symbolizes not just beauty and rarity, but the enduring bond between the natural world and human creativity—a perfect homage to the eternal dance of light and stone.
