0.89 ct Blue Sapphire - Oval

At 0.89 carats, this sapphire from Sri Lanka carries its blue color through an oval cut, measuring 6 x 5.1 x 3.8 mm.

Sapphire is corundum, one of the hardest materials in the gem world after diamond, and it comes in every color the species holds except the red the trade reserves for ruby. Sri Lanka's gravels are read by miners whose skill is generational, and a stone that reaches the cutter has already beaten long odds. It is wholly untreated, its color finished by geology rather than by any furnace or enhancement.

No two of these line up the same way on color, cut, and origin at once, which is what makes choosing this one feel deliberate. Hand-selected and filmed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
