1.06 Ct. White Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This is a transparent 1.06 carat white sapphire, asscher cut in an octagonal form, with precise dimensions of 5.94 x 5.77 x 3.36 mm. The asscher cut emphasizes step cut faceting that creates a geometric, hall of mirrors appearance, and this stone displays excellent symmetry and an exceptional polish that enhances face up brilliance. Color intensity is classified as colorless, and clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating only minor inclusions that do not distract from the gems overall visual appeal. The stone has been heat treated, a stable and widely accepted enhancement in sapphire sourcing, applied to optimize clarity and structural tone while respecting the natural character of the material.

The origin of this sapphire is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a provenance with a long established reputation for producing sapphires of fine crystalline quality and clarity. Ceylon geology favors the growth of corundum crystals with strong transparency and clean crystal structure, attributes that contribute directly to the performance of step cuts such as the asscher. For an informed buyer provenance matters, because documented origin from Ceylon often correlates with consistent color zoning patterns and inclusion types that are familiar to gemologists and collectors, and that familiarity supports reliable valuation and future resale. At The Natural Sapphire Company we prioritize transparent sourcing and disclosure, and the confirmed Ceylon origin of this white sapphire adds both historical cachet and practical assurance to its value.

For practical use this 1.06 carat asscher octagon white sapphire is versatile and well suited to a refined solitaire, three stone setting, or as a signature center for a bespoke piece where the clean, colorless appearance will complement both white and yellow precious metals. The asscher cut rewards deep pavilion control and precise angles, so the excellent polish and eye level clarity will maximize optical depth and light return in a well designed mounting. For collectors and educated buyers the combination of Ceylon origin, documented clarity grade, precise asscher faceting, and responsible heat treatment makes this sapphire a measured balance of aesthetic appeal and gemological integrity, and our team can provide further laboratory documentation and setting recommendations upon request.
