In the quiet gem fields of Rakwana village around mining in Sri Lanka, stones like this are born deep beneath the earth. No machines, no fancy setups — just the patience of the land and the careful hands of local miners. This sapphire came out of the ground still coated in clay, holding the story of years beneath the surface.
It was a humble piece of rough when our customer first saw it — natural, unheated, untouched. They believed in what it could become and asked us to cut it into a fine oval shape. That’s what we love most at Danushka Gems and Mining — transforming raw earth into something that carries both beauty and soul.
After the cutting was done, it revealed a gem of 1.77 carats, with VVS clarity and a brilliant natural lavender glow. The light now dances through it like the rivers that run through Rakwana’s gem valleys. Every inclusion, every reflection tells the story of where it came from.
There’s no long hand-to-hand journey here. From miner to cutter, from cutter to you — all under one honest process. We don’t polish stories; we polish stones. That’s what makes our gems special.
This sapphire may look luxurious when it shines, but its heart is pure and raw — just like where it came from. That’s the beauty of real gemstones. They connect the ground to the soul, the worker to the dream, and nature to light.
At Danushka Gems and Mining, we believe every stone deserves to be seen not just as a product, but as a piece of the earth’s heartbeat. When you hold it, you’re not just owning a gem — you’re holding the journey of people, patience, and the deep beauty of Sri Lanka’s land.
