75.50 ct Ceylon Natural Unheated Kataragama Sapphire Crystal Parcel – 15 Tabular Crystals from Sri Lanka

Stone Identity & Quality
This is a Ceylon Natural Unheated Kataragama Sapphire Crystal Parcel with a total weight of 75.50 ct. The parcel contains 15 pieces, ranging from 10.41 ct to 1.16 ct. These are natural tabular sapphire crystals sourced from Kataragama village around mining in Sri Lanka.
The stones are presented as natural sapphire crystals and specimens, not as guaranteed facet-grade rough. Their main value is connected to their crystal formation, growth patterns, natural surfaces, and gemological interest. Some pieces may have areas that can be studied for cutting, but each crystal must be evaluated individually before any cutting decision.
Color & Visual Characteristics
The parcel shows a white to yellow body color range, with some stones displaying pale yellow, champagne-yellow, and translucent body areas. Under light, the crystals show natural luster, internal reflections, and visible structural patterns. The tabular form gives the parcel a distinctive appearance compared with rounded alluvial sapphire rough.
The color is natural and unheated, with no treatment result being claimed. Any final color after cutting or polishing would depend on each stone’s orientation, depth, internal clarity, and usable crystal area.
Internal & External Features
These sapphire crystals show naturally occurring growth marks, crystal faces, surface lines, and internal features. Such marks are especially interesting in Kataragama sapphire crystal material because they help show how the crystals formed naturally over time.
One important feature in this parcel is a 3.22 ct crystal showing moving solid material inside a natural cavity. This makes the stone especially interesting from a collector and observation point of view. Natural cavities, trapped materials, and growth-related structures can add study value, but they must be handled carefully and should not be confused with standard clean cutting rough.
Cutting, Specimen, or Treatment Potential
This parcel is best presented as a natural sapphire crystal and specimen parcel. The tabular shapes, visible growth marks, and natural crystal surfaces make it valuable for collectors, gem dealers, mineral lovers, and buyers interested in Sri Lankan sapphire formation.
Some stones may be studied for possible cutting, but no cutting result, yield, clarity, or finished color should be promised. Because these are crystals with natural growth features and surface structures, a cutter must check each piece separately before deciding whether it is better for cutting, specimen collection, polishing, or gemological study.
Source & Ethical PositionDanushka Gems & Minings works directly with Sri Lankan gem source areas and presents natural gemstones with practical, honest evaluation. This Kataragama sapphire crystal parcel reflects the source-connected side of the gemstone trade, where not every stone is judged only by cutting yield. Some stones carry value through natural form, growth history, crystal identity, and educational importance.
By presenting these crystals honestly as unheated Kataragama sapphire specimens, we help buyers understand the difference between facet-grade rough, crystal specimens, and collector material.
