1.41 ct Blue Sapphire-Color Change - Pear

At 1.41 carats, this color-change sapphire from Sri Lanka carries its blue color through a pear cut, measuring 8.3 x 6.3 x 3.5 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 carries no treatment of any kind, so the color you see is the color that came out of the ground.

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 photographed by Caveman Gems in good light, shown as honestly as a screen allows.
