10.45 Ct. Brown Sapphire Crystal from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One exceptional offering from The Natural Sapphire Company, this one beautiful semi translucent brown sapphire weighs 10.45 carats, and measures 13.01 x 9.28 x 8.34 mm, a substantial presence for a single stone that carries both raw character and refined polish. This gem is cut in a various shape with a rough crystal cut that preserves much of the stone's natural form, and yet each face shows an excellent polish that elevates its intrinsic beauty. The clarity has been assessed as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads visually clean to the unaided eye, while intimate internal features add depth and narrative to the crystal. The color reads as a warm, medium intensity brown, and because this sapphire is completely unenhanced, bearing no treatment, it offers a purity of origin that collectors and connoisseurs prize, with provenance traced to Ceylon Sri Lanka, a historic source of some of the world’s most sought after sapphires.

What makes this brown sapphire so rare is the combination of its natural state, size, and aesthetic complexity, qualities that are increasingly scarce on the market. The semi translucent nature allows light to permeate the stone for a soft internal glow, while the medium color intensity gives it an earthy richness that can lean from honeyed amber to deep toasted chestnut depending on the lighting and the setting. The rough crystal cut is intentionally preserved to showcase the geological story of the crystal, the growth patterns, and the character lines that form within, and the excellent polish on those surfaces means the gem catches highlights with a clarity and brightness that belie its raw appearance. Very slightly included clarity gives the sapphire personality without compromising its visual impact, and the lack of enhancement offers the assurance that what you see is what nature created, a trait that discerning collectors value above all.

Owning this particular stone is to claim a singular piece of natural art, a bespoke item that will not be replicated, a hallmark of exclusivity that we celebrate at The Natural Sapphire Company. We present this sapphire as an opportunity for a private commission or a singular addition to an elite collection, imagine it set into a custom ring that cradles its irregular silhouette, or mounted as the focal point of a statement pendant where the rough crystal form can be admired from multiple angles. Its dimensions and weight make it versatile enough to translate into a commanding center stone for a cocktail ring, or an intimate yet substantial pendant that hangs close to the heart, each option allowing the stone to tell its own story. For clients who appreciate the provenance of a gem, the Ceylon Sri Lanka origin is a meaningful part of its narrative, linking the wearer to an ancient source known for quality and character, and to a lineage of stones that have been cherished for centuries.

If you would like to explore commissioning this sapphire, I invite you to reach out for a private consultation where we can discuss design direction, setting options, and a detailed review of the gem under magnification, so you may appreciate its very slightly included clarity and the excellent polish for yourself. At The Natural Sapphire Company we specialize in bespoke experiences for clients who seek rarity and timelessness, and we will coordinate a careful handling and viewing, supported by documentation that confirms the stone is natural, unenhanced, and of Ceylon Sri Lanka origin. This sapphire is more than a jewel, it is a potential heirloom, an inheritance of nature that can be transformed into a cherished piece for generations, and because it is a single, unique specimen, it offers exclusivity, a connection to the earth, and a refined statement of authenticity that is increasingly rare in today’s market, I look forward to guiding you through the possibilities, and to introducing you to a stone that is unapologetically natural, quietly powerful, and reserved for the select few who appreciate true individuality.
