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

At The Natural Sapphire Company we present a remarkable example of Ceylonese gem craft, a semi transparent yellow sapphire that speaks to both antiquity and understated elegance, this stone weighs 36.92 carat, it measures 28.50 x 14.10 x 11.70 mm, it is cut in a rough crystal shape that celebrates its natural formation, the color intensity is very light, the polish is excellent, and importantly, there is no enhancement, a true untreated treasure from the storied mines of Ceylon. From the moment you hold this sapphire you perceive a quality that is rarely seen in modern gem markets, the gentle golden hue catches light with a soft, inner glow rather than the brash flash of heavily treated material, the semi transparent clarity allows for a quiet depth and an honest view into its internal structure, and the various shape provides a sculptural silhouette that suits both museum mounts and bespoke designer settings. As a salesperson who loves gemstones, I delight in describing the tactile sensation of this piece, the way its length and substantial weight create a tangible presence, the way the excellent polish lends a refined finish while the rough crystal cut preserves the primal character that only nature can produce.

Ceylon has given the world some of the most celebrated sapphires for millennia, this island has been a source of legends, royal treasures, and trade for centuries, when ancient merchants navigated sea routes they sought Ceylon sapphires for their clarity and range of color, collectors have prized untreated stones from this origin because they carry the imprint of place, earth, and time. Owning a sapphire from Ceylon is not merely possessing a gem, it is participating in a lineage that includes royal adornments, devotional offerings, and heirlooms passed through generations, the very word Ceylon evokes antiquity and an unbroken geography of gemstone lore, and here at The Natural Sapphire Company we honor that tradition by presenting stones that remain faithful to their original state, without heat or other enhancements, so the story you wear is the story the earth wrote.

This particular yellow sapphire lends itself to both classic and contemporary interpretations, the very light yellow tone pairs beautifully with warm metals, imagine this stone set lengthwise in a custom pendant so that its pointed ends echo the lines of an ancient talisman, or placed horizontally in a bold ring where its length commands attention, the various shape offers a designer the freedom to showcase its unique crystal geometry, and the semi transparency means it will interact with light in nuanced ways, catching daylight with a soft luminosity and offering gentle reflections under lamplight. Because this sapphire is untreated, jewelers and collectors value it for its rarity and authenticity, the excellent polish ensures that any bespoke setting will be met with a finished surface that complements the stone rather than competing with it, and the substantial carat weight of 36.92 makes it a centerpiece stone for a singular commission, whether set in a historical inspired mount or framed in a modern minimalist design, the result is a piece that feels timeless, rooted in tradition yet entirely personal.
