2.47 Ct. Greenish Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This heart shaped greenish yellow sapphire weighs a refined 2.47 carats, and measures 7.45 by 8.18 by 5.15 millimeters, a size and silhouette chosen to speak softly yet unmistakably, only to those who truly appreciate rarity. Cut as a mixed brilliant to marry scintillation with balanced depth, this gem displays vivid color intensity and an excellent polish that allows every facet to sing. Evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included, and heat treated to gently enhance its sunny tones, this sapphire comes from the storied mines of Ceylon in Sri Lanka, an origin that has long been associated with exceptional color and natural character. Offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, this is not a mass produced piece, but a single, carefully selected treasure, an opportunity to own a stone whose combination of cut, color, and provenance places it in an elite register of wearable art.

What gives this sapphire its unmistakable signature are the internal inclusions, those tiny deposits and growth structures that are the gemological equivalent of a fingerprint. Look closely and you will see a fine network of silk like veils that whisper through the pavilion, a constellation of pinpoint mineral crystals that scatter light into a constellation of glittering pinpoints, and delicate, almost feather like growth patterns that trace the crystallization history of the stone. These features do not diminish value, they define it, because they confirm a natural origin and tell a story that no synthetic or overly treated gem can convincingly replicate. Where some sapphires appear uniform and anonymous, this heart shaped gem wears its history visibly and elegantly, the inclusions becoming living brushstrokes that catch and fragment light, creating tiny flashes of deeper gold, green, and lemon as the stone moves.

The cutter of this sapphire intentionally embraced those internal signatures, arranging facets to celebrate the interplay between table, pavilion, and the inclusions within. The mixed brilliant cut concentrates return of light through the heart motif while allowing the characteristic internal features to animate surface brilliance rather than obscure it. The result is a gem that reads as remarkably transparent and lively at a glance, yet reveals depth and character under closer inspection. Heat treatment, a standard and stable enhancement, has brightened the vivid greenish yellow hue and refined clarity without erasing the mineral signatures that prove natural formation in Ceylon, making this sapphire both visually arresting and verifiably authentic. For collectors and connoisseurs, a stone rated very very slightly included at eye level with such an expressive internal structure is an uncommon find.
