2.48 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This GIA certified, transparent yellow sapphire is a rare and refined example of natural Ceylon gemology, weighing 2.48 carats, and cut into an elegant cushion shape with exact dimensions of 7.82 by 6.83 by 5.30 millimeters. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes light return while preserving the stone s natural body color, and the excellent polish ensures crisp, lively facet reflections. The clarity is described as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the gem reads clean to the unaided eye and delivers an open, luminous appearance that many commercial stones cannot match. Crucially, this sapphire is untreated, enhancement free, and its origin from Sri Lanka is documented by GIA, a combination that places it above many market alternatives where heat treatment or other enhancements are common. Where many yellow sapphires offered online are heat enhanced to intensify color, or are laboratory grown to meet price points, this stone brings authentic natural provenance and the peace of mind of GIA certification, attributes that matter for collectors and those seeking a lasting heirloom.

Compared to other yellow sapphires on the market, this Ceylon cushion stands out for its balance of rarity, wearable size, and refined color. Its very light yellow tone is unusually fresh and versatile, offering a sophisticated alternative to the more saturated, almost canary hues that dominate mass produced pieces, and giving the wearer a subtler, more refined palette that pairs beautifully with both yellow gold and white metals. The cushion mixed brilliant cut is a modern adaptation of a classic shape, producing more scintillation and fire than a standard step cut, which means this stone will animate in rings and pendants without the often glassy look seen in poorly cut stones. The combination of near-eye-clean clarity and excellent polish results in superior contrast and sparkle, so you receive both aesthetic performance and long term value. From a durability standpoint, sapphires are corundum and rate a nine on the Mohs scale, making this gem suitable for everyday jewelry, including engagement rings, with proper setting and care. When you choose this gem from The Natural Sapphire Company you re choosing documented, no-enhancement provenance and a piece that is both a wearable jewel and a prudent long term acquisition compared with heavily treated or synthetic options.

Beyond its physical virtues, this yellow sapphire carries a rich history of metaphysical and healing associations that many wearers find resonant. Traditionally associated with the planet Jupiter and known as Pukhraj in Vedic astrology, yellow sapphire is believed to bring wisdom, prosperity, and personal growth, and it is often recommended to support career advancement, financial stability, and fortunate relationships. Energetically, yellow sapphire is connected to the solar plexus chakra, the center of personal power and self confidence, and many people wear yellow sapphire to enhance mental clarity, optimism, and motivation, or to encourage creative problem solving and public speaking. Healers and crystal enthusiasts also attribute calming and uplifting properties to the stone, suggesting it can alleviate anxious thought patterns, improve digestion and vitality as symbolic reflections of solar energy, and foster a positive, expansive outlook. As with all metaphysical traditions, these benefits are based on belief and cultural practice, not medical proof, yet they offer meaningful context for those choosing a gemstone for personal or spiritual reasons.
