1.65 Ct. White Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This listing describes a single transparent white sapphire of natural origin from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, presented in a precisely executed heart shape. The gem weighs 1.65 carats and measures 6.22 by 8.09 by 4.48 millimeters, exhibiting a mixed brilliant cut that balances table brilliance with pavilion sparkle. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which means minor internal features are present but do not detract from overall transparency or light performance. The color intensity is colorless, and the polish is graded excellent, providing crisp facet junctions and strong light return. There has been no enhancement applied to this stone, so its optical and structural attributes are wholly natural. As a corundum variety, this sapphire benefits from inherent toughness and a Mohs hardness of nine, making it suitable for daily wear in fine jewelry settings. Images showing the stone on a hand provide scale and context for potential mounting options.

Compared to lab grown gemstones, a natural Ceylon sapphire offers several distinct attributes that appeal to connoisseurs and those seeking provenance. Natural sapphires form over geological time frames, and the internal growth features and minor inclusions act as a fingerprint that documents natural origin and geological history. The absence of post harvest enhancement in this stone preserves that natural signature, and the documented origin from Ceylon Sri Lanka provides traceable provenance that collectors value. While lab grown sapphires can match natural stones in visual appearance and physical properties, natural stones tend to be rarer in specific size, shape, and combination of clarity and color attributes, which can influence desirability and long term market perception. Natural stones also carry a narrative of origin that many buyers prefer for personal or heirloom pieces. The Natural Sapphire Company can provide further details on certification, recommended settings, and handling, and we ensure transparent reporting of all gemological characteristics, so clients can evaluate this heart shape white sapphire on its natural merits.
