2.54 Ct. Yellow Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This transparent Ceylon yellow sapphire weighs 2.54 carats and presents an elegant oval outline with dimensions of 8.52 by 6.41 by 5.61 mm, cut in a mixed brilliant style that combines a faceted crown optimized for scintillation with a well proportioned pavilion that returns light effectively, producing a lively face up appearance despite a light color intensity. The cutter has employed a traditional mixed brilliant faceting schema, featuring a restrained table and a crown angle calibrated to balance fire and brightness, the excellent polish allows crisp facet junctions and minimal surface disturbance, and the overall craftsmanship yields even color distribution with subtle zonation consistent with Sri Lankan material. The stone is natural and untreated, no enhancements, and the origin of Ceylon contributes to its classic yellow tone and the complex internal character typical of that provenance.

At eye level the clarity is described as very very slightly included, a grade that reflects fine internal features that are visible only under careful inspection and that function as unique identifiers for this individual crystal. Inclusions include delicate rutile needles oriented parallel to growth planes creating a faint silk like texture in certain viewing angles, isolated mineral crystals offering pinpoint reflections, and a few microscopic two phase inclusions and healed feather terminals which scatter light locally and produce lively internal contrasts without detracting from overall transparency. These internal markers are important for provenance verification and for distinguishing this natural, unheated sapphire from treated material, they also contribute a subtle depth to the gem that changes with rotation and lighting, enhancing personality and making each mounting unique. For clients who appreciate technical detail and natural character, The Natural Sapphire Company presents this finely finished, untreated Ceylon yellow sapphire as an excellent choice for bespoke settings where the cutter work and inherent inclusions can be displayed to best advantage.
