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

This 25.62 carat yellow sapphire from Ceylon presents as a semi transparent, various shape specimen with precise dimensions of 25.80 x 11.30 x 9.85 mm, cut in a rough crystal style that preserves natural growth faces rather than imposing a conventional crown and pavilion architecture. The rough crystal cut yields irregular, planar facets that follow the original termination planes, producing variable facet sizes along the long axis and a subtle asymmetric profile that emphasizes the stone s natural crystal habit. Face up the stone displays a medium intense yellow saturation, evenly distributed across the broad axis with mild internal color zoning that softens toward the terminations. Clarity is graded included at eye level, with visible internal growth features and localized mineralized areas that are typical of unheated, natural sapphires, the stone remaining unenhanced, untreated, and exhibiting an excellent polish on its modified natural faces which enhances luster while preserving the tactile character of the crystal. The origin from Sri Lanka contributes to the stone s classic yellow palette and natural inclusion suite, and the excellent polish indicates careful lapidary control to remove surface pits while maintaining the crystal s inherent morphology, a balance sought by connoisseurs and collectors alike.

From a technical perspective the piece is ideal for designers seeking an organic, geological aesthetic, or for retention as a specimen, the preserved growth faces coupled with the medium intense tone give predictable light return along the long axis, and the semi transparency provides depth without the optical flatness of opaque material. The included clarity means inclusions are part of the visual character, they interact with light to create subtle internal textures, and they also serve as integrity markers for origin and treatment history, the absence of heat or other enhancements makes this sapphire a durable, authentic choice for secure settings that protect the crystal terminations, recommended mounting options include a tailored bezel or a custom prong configuration that supports the elongated profile and minimizes stress at acute terminations. For buyers and craftsmen at The Natural Sapphire Company this piece offers a rare combination of substantial carat weight, preserved crystal habit, and excellent surface finishing, appealing to those who prioritize natural provenance and lapidary restraint over aggressive faceting.
