50 ct Ceylon Natural Unheated Sapphire Rough Parcel – 32 Pieces from Sri Lanka

Stone Identity & Quality

This gemstone parcel contains 32 pieces of Ceylon natural unheated sapphire rough with a total weight of 50 ct. The individual stones range from 3.36 ct to 0.70 ct. The parcel is sourced from Ratnapura, Embilipitiya, Udawalawa, Bibilegama, and Rakwana villages around mining in Sri Lanka. It is described as facet grade rough and includes a variety of natural sapphire colors, making it suitable for cutters, dealers, collectors, and buyers looking for mixed Ceylon sapphire material.

Color & Visual Characteristics

The parcel includes several natural sapphire color varieties, including pink, purple, bi-color, blue, violet, yellow, and lavender tones. Because the stones are still in rough form, each color may appear differently depending on light direction, surface texture, depth, and internal structure. Some pieces may show stronger color concentration in certain areas, while others may need careful orientation to bring out the best final face-up appearance after cutting.

Internal & External Features

The stones show natural alluvial rough character, with different shapes, surfaces, and internal features across the parcel. As with all sapphire rough, each piece should be studied carefully before cutting. Important factors include clarity direction, color zoning, inclusion position, usable depth, and the natural shape of each stone. These features will influence the final design, yield, and finished gemstone appearance.

Cutting, Specimen, or Treatment Potential

This is a facet grade rough parcel, so the main value is in cutting evaluation and practical gemstone production. Because the parcel includes 32 pieces in different colors and sizes, it can be useful for small finished sapphire stones, practice cutting, custom cutting, color-matching studies, and mixed Ceylon sapphire collections. Each stone should be planned individually, as the final result depends on orientation, depth, internal features, and the cutting style chosen by the cutter. No final cutting result is guaranteed before proper lapidary inspection.
