1.10 Ct. Orange Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the lush, verdant landscapes of Ceylon, a breathtaking orange sapphire begins its remarkable journey. Known today as Sri Lanka, this island is nestled in the Indian Ocean and possesses a rich heritage of gemstone mining that dates back centuries. The geological forces that first formed this alluring treasure have sculpted a marvel of nature that carries the undisturbed whispers of time within its vibrant heart. Born from volcanic eruptions and shaped by millennia of intense pressure beneath the earth's surface, this orange sapphire sprang forth into existence, its formation crafted by both fire and soil. The island's monsoons and tropical weather further played their part, washing rains over ancient, mineral-rich terrains and leaving behind vibrant gem fields teeming with buried secrets.

At the heart of these fields, local miners continue a proud, time-honored tradition using age-old techniques passed down through generations. Here, strong yet deft hands scour riverbeds and pry into gem-rich gravels, slowly revealing the island's hidden gems. This 1.10 carat orange sapphire, with its vivid and warm hue, captures not only the essence of its tropical birthland but also echoes the resilience of the hands that extracted it from its mineral home. Superlatively cut into an oval shape, the attention to detail in crafting its symmetrical charm ensures its brilliant facets catch and play with light, radiating warmth and brilliance unique to only the finest of sapphires. The journey from rough, uncut gemstone to polished magnificence requires the unwavering gaze of master craftsmen and an artist's precision, a testament to our dedication here at The Natural Sapphire Company.

Unlike the more familiar sapphire blues or the fiery reds of rubies, this orange gemstone stands apart, a testament to the diversity and richness hidden within the earth. It engages the senses, evoking the orange glow of a setting sun over a Cerulean horizon—an allure rooted in both rarity and remarkable color intensity. Its mixed brilliant cut further sets it apart, maximizing the beauty of this lesser-found hue, creating a kaleidoscope of fiery sparks that dance hypnotically with natural light. As it rests upon your palm, the soft gleam it emits lends a hint of mystery, a reminder of its origins far below the sleepy tropical forests and expansive coastal lines of Sri Lanka.

This orange sapphire not only mesmerizes with its warm aura but also guards stories of myth and legend, carried through the ages by this esteemed variety of corundum.
