3.03 Ct. Orange Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

In the majestic landscapes of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, lies the origin of our exquisite 3.03 carat oval-shaped orange sapphire. This region is famed for producing some of the world's most exceptional sapphires, rich in color and steeped in history. The journey of this sapphire began deep beneath the surface of the earth, formed over countless millennia. Through natural geological processes, special conditions allowed this spectacular gemstone to emerge, bearing its intense and vivid hue - a captivating orange that sets it apart from the more common blue sapphires.

Expert miners, with generations of experience in gemstone extraction, uncovered this rare beauty in the rugged terrains of Sri Lanka. From the very moment it was unearthed, the sapphire's potential as a striking gemstone was evident. Our team at The Natural Sapphire Company goes to great lengths to ensure each gemstone meets our rigorous standards. The stone underwent a precise evaluation to verify its distinct Ceylonese heritage and vivid color intensity, confirming its worthiness for global markets.

Following its discovery, the sapphire was skillfully shaped by master gem cutters using a mixed brilliant cut. This meticulous process enhances its natural brilliance and luster, resulting in a gem of unrivaled sparkle and fire. Crafted into an oval shape and measuring 9.58 x 7.15 x 5.26 mm, its splendid dimensions emphasize the vivid depth of its color and clarity. This stone carries a clarity grade of very very slightly included (evaluated at eye level), ensuring minimum inclusions and maximum visual impact. The excellent polish it received is a testament to the craftsmanship dedicated to preserving its allure.

To further enhance its visual appeal, the orange sapphire experienced a careful heat treatment process. This enhancement is a traditional practice that intensifies the natural colors and ensures long-lasting vibrancy and uniformly rich tones throughout the gem. From mine to market, every aspect of this gemstone's journey is overseen by The Natural Sapphire Company, fostering transparency and quality in every gemstone we offer. Certified by C.Dunaigre, our sapphire stands as a genuine article of beauty and authenticity, prepared to captivate all who encounter its resplendent glow.
