Evaluated at eye level the clarity is graded slightly included, a hallmark of natural origin that gives the sapphire personality and a unique fingerprint. The polish is excellent, allowing light to travel and reflect with crystalline clarity, and the stone has undergone professional heat treatment, a customary and stable enhancement that brings out the best of Ceylon color without compromising the natural geology of the gem. Presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire is ready to be set into a bespoke piece, where its distinctive shape and whisper of bicolor will be highlighted and celebrated.

Each facet of this sapphire speaks to scarcity and story, from the way the color sits in the step cut to the tiny natural inclusions that tell of heat and pressure deep underground over millennia. Pieces of this character are seldom found, and when they are, they are usually claimed quickly by those who recognize that true rarity is not manufactured, but discovered. There is a bespoke quality to this stone that invites custom design, whether it is mounted as the central star in a refined ring, set into a pendant that catches the light with every movement, or incorporated into a private collection where it can be enjoyed as a conversation piece and heirloom. At The Natural Sapphire Company we curate these exceptional finds with the utmost care, ensuring that every client who acquires one of our natural sapphires becomes part of an elite group who understand the luxury of owning something genuinely one of a kind.

In contrast to lab grown gemstones, which are crafted to be visually consistent and uniform, this natural Ceylon sapphire offers advantages that go beyond appearance. Natural stones carry the provenance of their origin, a geological biography that can be traced to a place on the map, an era in earth history, and often a specific mine region. This imparted history is valuable to collectors, it enhances the emotional connection, and it creates a deeper story to pass down through generations. The inclusions and subtle color zoning in a natural sapphire are not flaws to be erased, they are signatures that confirm authenticity and individuality. While lab grown sapphires can mimic color and clarity, they are produced in volume, they share identical growth patterns within batches, and they do not carry the same natural variability that gives each mined gem its distinct identity. Natural sapphires from renowned sources like Ceylon often offer superior long term appeal, both aesthetically and for those who value the heritage and rarity that only nature can provide. Furthermore, the traditional heat treatment applied to this stone is a widely accepted practice among gemologists and seasoned collectors, it is transparent in its purpose, and it stabilizes and enhances the innate beauty of the sapphire without altering its essential natural origin.

For the discerning buyer who seeks exclusivity and a tangible connection to the earth, this 1.06 carat bi color sapphire is an extraordinary opportunity. The combination of its precise dimensions, step cut, medium light color intensity, slightly included clarity at eye level, excellent polish, and Ceylon provenance creates a balanced and captivating gem that stands apart from mass produced alternatives.
