2.61 ct Blue Sapphire - Round

This 2.61-carat sapphire is cut as a round measuring 6.4 x 4.2 mm, with a blue body color, sourced from Sri Lanka.

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 has produced fine sapphire in every color for two thousand years, prized for transparency and life in the stone. Its color was brought up by heat, a legitimate and accepted practice that the trade discloses and we disclose here.

There are not many gemstones like it, and there will not be more. Shown in good light, with its full history available before you commit.
