At Danushka Gems and Mining, we take pride in offering the finest quality gemstones, directly sourced from the rich gem fields of Sri Lanka. Our commitment to excellence is exemplified by the remarkable journey of a particular Facet Grade Natural Blue Sapphire, which began its life as a 2.50-carat rough stone from the famed mining region of Ratnapura.
This sapphire, originally in its rough formation, measured 7.5 x 7.0 x 5.5 mm and was completely natural and unheated. The rough stone possessed all the qualities that make Ceylon sapphires so highly prized—intense color, clarity, and potential for transformation into a truly stunning gemstone.
The Rough to Refined Process
The journey from rough to polished gemstone is both an art and a science. When this sapphire was first sourced, its beauty was hidden beneath the raw exterior, a diamond in the rough, waiting to be revealed. At Danushka Gems and Mining, we understand the significance of preserving the natural qualities of such stones while enhancing their beauty through expert cutting and polishing.
Understanding the potential of this sapphire, we took the decision to cut and polish it into an elegant oval shape, which is a popular choice for sapphires due to its ability to maximize color and brilliance. The result was a medium blue sapphire that is not only beautifully transparent but also sparkles with a captivating brilliance.
The Expertise Behind the Transformation
Our gem cutting and polishing process is meticulously carried out by skilled artisans who have honed their craft over decades. This expertise ensures that each stone we handle is transformed into a masterpiece, highlighting its natural beauty while retaining its intrinsic qualities. In the case of this particular sapphire, our team worked diligently to achieve the perfect balance between color, clarity, and carat weight, resulting in a gem that is as valuable as it is beautiful.
At Danushka Gems and Mining, we offer a unique service to our customers. Not only do we source the finest rough stones directly from the mines and trusted gem dealers in Sri Lanka, but we also provide custom cutting and polishing services.
