115.63 Ct. Yellow Sapphire Crystal from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exceptional yellow sapphire, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, arrives with a story already written into its crystal face, and the details speak plainly of its rarity. We present a semi transparent sapphire weighing 115.63 carats, shaped in a natural various shape form, measuring 54.70 by 26.10 by 19.30 millimeters, a substantial and dramatic specimen. It has been fashioned with a rough crystal cut that preserves the organic geometry of the stone, while an excellent polish reveals the depth of its medium color intensity. Importantly, this sapphire is free from enhancement, a wholly natural gem that retains the original conditions of its formation. Its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a place famed for producing sapphires with lively color and historical resonance, and every facet of this stone reflects that heritage from mine to market.

Imagine the beginning, deep within the ancient gravels and alluvial terraces of Sri Lanka, where heat and pressure over millions of years coaxed corundum to crystallize in pockets of silica and mineral rich sands. This particular crystal began as a slow, patient accretion of aluminum and oxygen, colored by trace amounts of iron that whisper the warm, sunlit yellow you now see. Miners in Ceylon, working with techniques passed down through generations, located and unearthed this sizable rough with a practiced eye. The piece you are viewing bears the hallmarks of its birth, elongated and multifaceted, with internal growth lines and natural facets that document a long history of geological time. For collectors and connoisseurs, that authenticity matters, because the story of where and how a sapphire forms is inseparable from its character and value.

Our craftsmen honored that story rather than obscuring it, choosing a rough crystal cut to maintain the stone’s original personality while enhancing its inherent beauty. The cut leaves the sapphire in a form that echoes its subterranean origins, with an organic silhouette that is both sculptural and wearable. The excellent polish applied to the exposed faces allows light to travel through the semi transparent body and illuminate the medium yellow tone from within, producing a warm, luminous glow rather than an artificially intensified hue. Because the gem has no enhancement, you experience the true material of the earth, unaltered by heat treatments or irradiation, an increasingly rare offering in a market where many stones are modified for consistent color. When you hold this sapphire, you hold a piece of Sri Lanka’s long gemological tradition, a stone that carries the provenance and integrity collectors prize.

Finally, envision the ways this sapphire might complete its next chapter, becoming a centerpiece for a bespoke creation or a museum worthy display, its provenance documented by The Natural Sapphire Company. Designers will be drawn to the size and unique form, imagining settings that cradle the elongated crystal and allow light to play along its length. Jewelers who value authenticity will appreciate the absence of treatment, knowing the gem will patina and light over time in a manner true to its nature. For care, gentle cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush will preserve the polish and clarity, while professional checks will ensure settings remain secure. Above all, this 115.63 carat Ceylon yellow sapphire is more than a gem, it is a narrative object, a direct link between the deep time of the earth, the human hands that retrieved and refined it, and the wearer who will carry its light forward. The Natural Sapphire Company invites you to partake in that journey, to own not just a remarkable stone, but the story that made it.
