2.00 Ct. Yellowish Orange Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pear shape sapphire weighs 2.00 carat and measures 10.09 x 5.44 x 4.88 mm, presenting an elegant length to width ratio of approximately 1.86 to 1 and a depth of roughly 62.9 percent when calculated against the average diameter. Cut as a mixed brilliant, the pavilion is executed with a full brilliant facet array beneath a modified step crown, a configuration chosen to maximize return of light while maintaining controlled dispersion and precise scintillation along the pear outline. The facet junctions show an excellent polish and careful symmetry, preserving the stone s transparency and enhancing windowing resistance, attributes that are particularly important in colored stones of this tone. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when viewed at eye level, indicating fine, well distributed internal features that do not impede light performance, and that allow the gem to remain visually clean under practical inspection.

Color is the defining rarity of this specimen, a yellowish orange with intense saturation and even tone across the table and pavilion planes. This hue is uncommon in natural corundum at this weight, and the combination of intense color with high transparency makes this sapphire notably rare compared to more frequently encountered pastel yellow or strongly brownish orange examples. The heat treatment indicated is a stable enhancement applied to refine both color uniformity and internal clarity, a standard and controlled process for Ceylon sapphires that preserves the mineral s structure while intensifying the desired warm golden orange. Origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance known for producing sapphires with lively, saturated yellow and orange chemistry, and this stone reflects that geological character in its lively color response and balanced pleochroic behavior. For collectors and designers seeking a standout center stone, this sapphire is ideally suited to bespoke rings or pendants where the elongated pear silhouette and mixed brilliant faceting deliver both presence and refined brilliance. The Natural Sapphire Company presents this example as a rare, well finished natural sapphire, a combination of precision cutting, notable color intensity, and classic Ceylon origin that distinguishes it from more common yellow and orange sapphire offerings.
