12.30 ct Facet Grade Mixed Ceylon Sapphire Rough Parcel – 8 Unheated Alluvial Stones from Bakamuna Sri Lanka

Stone Identity & Quality

This is a natural Ceylon sapphire rough parcel consisting of 8 individual facet-grade alluvial stones with a combined weight of 12.30 ct.

The individual pieces range approximately from 2.12 ct to 1.15 ct and are presented as unheated natural sapphire.

The parcel was sourced from Bakamuna village around mining in Sri Lanka and includes a soft mix of pale lavender, soft yellow, and colourless to white sapphire rough.

Each stone retains its natural alluvial form and should be treated as an individual cutting project rather than assuming one uniform result across the parcel.

Color & Visual Characteristics

The parcel displays a delicate mixed color range:

pale lavender

soft yellow

colourless / white

very light mixed neutral tones

The overall appearance is light and subtle rather than strongly saturated.

Under direct light, some stones show better transparency than others, while the pale colors become more visible depending on orientation and background.

Because these are natural rough sapphires, final face-up color after cutting may differ from what is seen in rough form.

Internal & External Features

The stones show natural alluvial surface wear from movement through gem-bearing gravel.

Visible characteristics include:

rounded and water-worn surfaces

varying transparency

internal natural inclusions

small surface-reaching features

subtle color distribution

different usable depths from stone to stone

Some pieces appear cleaner and more transparent than others, so each rough stone requires separate inspection before cutting.

Cutting, Specimen, or Treatment Potential

This is a facet-grade mixed parcel, suitable for professional cutting evaluation.

The parcel includes stones with different shapes and depths, so the cutter should examine each piece independently and consider:

cleanest internal direction

best color orientation

inclusion position

usable depth

possible face-up dimensions

likely weight retention

Because the individual stones range from approximately 2.12 ct to 1.15 ct, finished weights will naturally vary.

No exact final weight, clarity, color, or shape can be guaranteed before preforming and cutting.

Custom cutting and certification can be discussed if required.

Source & Ethical Position

Danushka Gems & Minings works directly around Sri Lankan gemstone-producing regions, sourcing natural rough stones through local mining communities and source dealers.

Our approach is based on practical evaluation, clear disclosure, and source transparency rather than exaggerated predictions about cutting yield or final quality.

Mixed parcels such as this are presented with the known total weight, treatment status, origin, visible colors, and practical cutting considerations so buyers can make informed decisions.
