1.21 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent, certified yellow sapphire from Ceylon is a refined and collectible gem, weighing 1.21 carats with precise dimensions of 6.21 x 6.22 x 4.14 mm, and fashioned into a round shape with a mixed brilliant cut. The cut has been executed to balance scintillation and face up spread, and an excellent polish ensures superior light return and a lively table presence. Color is described as medium intensity yellow, exhibiting a clear, honeyed lemon tone that reads bright in both daylight and artificial light, and importantly this sapphire has no enhancement, a feature that materially increases its desirability and investment appeal. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included at eye level, which means the stone appears clean to the naked eye while retaining small internal characteristics that confirm its natural origin and unheated history. As with all pieces from The Natural Sapphire Company, provenance matters, and this Sri Lankan origin combined with untreated color and excellent polish makes this sapphire particularly attractive to the educated buyer seeking both beauty and integrity.

What gives this sapphire an unmistakable signature is the nature and arrangement of its internal inclusions, observed under standard gemological magnification. You will find a delicate network of fine silk, interspersed with tiny reflective crystal pinpoints and a few two phase fluid inclusions, aligned in subtle growth zones that are characteristic of Ceylon sapphires. These features are not flaws in the cosmetic sense, they are diagnostic markers, acting like a fingerprint that confirms natural formation and the absence of artificial color treatment. The silk threads diffuse light softly, producing a velvety internal glow that enhances the medium color intensity without muddying it, while the pinpoint crystals add micro scintillation that animates the mixed brilliant cut. The spatial distribution of these inclusions preserves excellent apparent clarity at face up view, which is why the gem receives a very very slightly included grade at eye level, and why collectors prize this balance between visual purity and natural character. For buyers who value documented authenticity and long term desirability, this untreated Ceylon yellow sapphire offers a rare combination of natural signature, measured proportions, and meticulous finishing, and The Natural Sapphire Company can provide certification and further magnified imagery to support a confident purchase.
