2.04 Ct. Black Star Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 2.04 carat round black star sapphire is an exceptional example of natural asterism, sourced from Ceylon Sri Lanka and presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, and its combination of size, clarity, and polish places it well above many market alternatives. Measuring 7.25 x 7.28 x 3.22 mm, the cabochon cut has been executed to maximize the star, and the excellent polish creates a smooth, glasslike surface that allows the star to glide across the dome with movement. Unlike many commercial black sapphires that have been heat altered or filled to enhance appearance, this stone is unenhanced, which preserves its natural character and long term value. The clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning that inclusions are minimal and do not detract from the strong, dark color intensity or the sharpness of the asterism. Compared to typical black gemstones such as onyx or heavily treated black sapphires, this Sri Lankan star sapphire offers a rare balance of natural origin, visible star quality, and substantial carat weight that makes it an immediate focal point rather than a background accent.

For customers seeking a statement piece, the proportions and clarity of this sapphire make it ideal for a bold ring, a pendant that sits confidently against the chest, or a central element in a custom design surrounded by contrasting stones. The dark, silky bodycolor frames the star so it reads clearly at a distance, and the stone’s size is large enough to command attention while remaining elegant on the finger. When paired with lighter contrast gems, such as a White Opal, the visual drama is heightened, offering a modern take on classical contrast that highlights both stones unique beauty. In terms of value, this untreated Ceylon star sapphire outperforms similar appearing, treated material because its natural asterism and provenance offer collectors and wearers a reassurance of authenticity and enduring appeal. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize responsibly sourced, well documented stones, and this 2.04 carat black star sapphire stands out as a superior choice for anyone who wants a distinctive, museum quality looking statement gem that will remain remarkable for generations.
