3.31 Ct. Blue Star Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

A moonlit jewel, a whisper of midnight and ocean, this translucent blue star sapphire sings with a soft, celestial light. We present a single 3.31 carat round star sapphire, a cabochon cut treasure from Ceylon Sri Lanka, with dimensions 7.08 by 6.78 by 6.29 mm. Its clarity is graded very slightly included evaluated at eye level, its color intensity is intense, and its polish is excellent, all with no enhancement. When you hold it, the stone offers a three dimensional stillness, a polished dome that cradles a moving star, a six ray asterism that glides like a comet across its surface as you tilt it beneath the light. The deep, saturated blue glows from within, translucent rather than glassy, as if a private sea has been captured and set aside for a single moment of reverie. This is not simply a gem, it is an heirloom of sensation, a sapphire that carries the old world romance of Ceylon, and we are proud to offer it from The Natural Sapphire Company.

Compared to the bright, scintillating fire of a faceted diamond, and to the sharp flashes of light from a round brilliant sapphire or ruby, this star sapphire offers a different kind of brilliance, a silky chatoyancy that is intimate and poetic rather than explosive. Diamonds scatter white light into glitter, faceted sapphires throw back focused flashes, but this Ceylon star sapphire radiates with a steady inner glow and a graceful, moving star that captures the eye and quiets the mind. Where opals and moonstones are ethereal and variable, and where cabochon rubies can be boldly saturated, this blue star stands apart because of its asterism, its unheated origin, and its intense yet translucent color, all finished with an excellent polish that allows the star to ride the dome like a lantern on calm waters. For a lover of romance and rarity, this gem is a poetic companion, an emblem of constancy and wonder, a stone for vows and promises, offered with the care and provenance you expect from The Natural Sapphire Company.
