This 3.13ct Royal Blue Sapphire from Sri Lanka was selected by The Sapphire Merchant for its strong colour, square cushion shape, and striking face-up presence.
The stone has a rich royal blue tone with a bold, confident look on the hand. Its square cushion cut gives it a balanced outline and a larger visual presence, making it well suited to a meaningful engagement ring or statement custom piece.
One of its most unique features is the clear zebra-like stripe running through the stone. Rather than making it feel ordinary, this gives the sapphire a distinct identity and natural character. It is a stone with presence, colour, and personality.
At over 3ct, this sapphire has the size and visual impact needed for a serious centre stone.
Buy this natural Sri Lankan sapphire as a loose gemstone or custom design a jewellery piece with The Sapphire Merchant.

Ceylon Sapphires
Sri Lankan or 'Ceylon' sapphires, celebrated for their remarkable clarity, are a testament to the diverse beauty of the geological world. Originating from gem-rich regions like Ratnapura and Elahera, these gems come in a stunning array of colours, including blue, pink, purple, yellow, and green. The unique cornflower tones of Sri Lankan blue sapphires, compared to other sources, and the rich, intense royal blues from select mines, offer a captivating spectrum of hues to explore.
Despite centuries of mining history dating back over 2,500 years, Sri Lanka continues to yield high-quality sapphires sought for their beauty and historical significance. The historical significance of Sri Lankan sapphires is not to be underestimated, as they have been part of many cultures and civilisations, often symbolising royalty and wisdom.
Sri Lanka's sapphire mining methods encompass a blend of traditional and modern techniques. Historically, manual labour and simple tools were employed, with miners digging pits by hand to access gem-bearing gravel layers. Today, mechanised mining, including the use of machinery such as excavators and conveyor belts, has become more common in larger-scale operations, alongside pit mining and river mining techniques. Sri Lanka is a leader in ethical mining practices. The industry is heavily regulated to ensure environmental sustainability.
