0.80 Ct. Bi Color Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 0.80 carat marquise bi color sapphire from Ceylon, Sri Lanka embodies a rare combination of transparent clarity, precise proportions, and an unmistakable internal signature that sets it apart from most stones on the market. Measuring 8.87 by 3.96 by 2.90 millimeters and cut as a mixed brilliant, this gem delivers exceptional light return and a lively balance between the two colors that create its bi color appeal. Where many bi color sapphires can appear muddy or unevenly cut, this stone presents medium color intensity with crisp zoning, a clarity graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and an excellent polish that emphasizes its marquise silhouette. Heat treated to enhance its natural tones, this sapphire still retains the kind of natural character and depth that collectors and connoisseurs seek, and when compared to mass produced or heavily treated alternatives, its provenance from Ceylon and careful cutting make it a superior choice for an elegant, versatile setting.

The most compelling feature of this sapphire is its unique inclusions, which act like a gemmological fingerprint that cannot be replicated in synthetic stones, and which provide a personal story to the wearer. Fine oriented silk and tiny reflective platelets trace the interior in delicate bands, interacting with the bi color zoning to create shifting flashes of light and subtle internal reflections that reveal different faces of the gem as it moves. These inclusions confirm natural origin and add a three dimensional texture to the color transition, giving the stone a living, dynamic presence that sets it apart from stones that rely solely on surface appearance. Compared to many competing sapphires that sacrifice character for uniformity, this marquise bi color sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company offers an honest balance of clarity, cut, and natural inclusions, delivering superior visual interest and lasting value. Whether set as a distinctive engagement accent or a statement piece, this sapphire combines Ceylon heritage, thoughtful cutting, and a signature internal pattern that will distinguish it in any collection.
