20.25 ct Natural Unheated Ceylon Mixed Color Sapphire Rough Parcel – 15 Pieces from Sri Lanka

Stone Identity & Quality

This natural Ceylon sapphire rough parcel has a total weight of 20.25 carats and includes 15 individual pieces, ranging from approximately 2.98 ct to 0.70 ct each. The parcel consists of mixed color sapphire rough including yellow sapphire, white sapphire, pink sapphire, blue sapphire, and purple sapphire.

The stones are sourced from Ratnapura, Nivithigala, Pelmadulla, and Endana villages around mining in Sri Lanka. The parcel is offered as natural unheated facet-grade rough, suitable for lapidary evaluation, small gemstone cutting projects, and buyers who appreciate Sri Lankan sapphire material in its natural condition.

Color & Visual Characteristics

The parcel displays a natural range of Ceylon sapphire colors, including soft yellow, near-white, pink, blue, and purple tones. Because the stones are still in rough form, the visible color may change depending on lighting, thickness, surface texture, and internal color zoning.

This mixed color appearance is one of the interesting features of Sri Lankan sapphire rough. Each stone needs to be examined individually to understand how the color may appear after cutting and polishing.

Internal & External Features

Externally, the stones show natural alluvial rough surfaces, including rounded shapes, frosted skin, small surface marks, and natural wear from geological movement. These are normal features in sapphire rough recovered from gem-bearing gravels.

Internally, each piece may show different levels of transparency, zoning, inclusions, and usable cutting areas. Because this is a mixed parcel, the stones should not be judged as one identical group. Each piece requires individual evaluation before cutting direction and yield can be estimated.

Cutting & Treatment Potential

This parcel is suitable for professional cutting evaluation. Some pieces may be suitable for small faceted stones, calibrated-style cutting, or custom small gemstone projects depending on their internal condition and orientation.

The stones are offered as unheated rough. No treatment result or final cutting result should be assumed before proper evaluation. The final yield, clarity, and face-up color will depend on each stone’s depth, structure, internal features, and color position.

Source & Ethical Position

This parcel was sourced through Sri Lankan gem connections from Ratnapura, Nivithigala, Pelmadulla, and Endana villages around mining in Sri Lanka. These areas are connected to the island’s long history of sapphire mining and alluvial gemstone recovery.
