A few weeks ago, Danushka Gems and Mining discovered two exceptional pieces of facet grade natural dark blue sapphire, popularly known as “kaka neelam.” These remarkable finds, sourced directly from the renowned gem-mining villages of Rambuka and Ratnapura in Sri Lanka, boasted extraordinary quality and natural, untreated beauty.
The first piece weighed 1.55 ct with measurements of 6.5 x 5 x 4.2 mm, and the second weighed 1.60 ct with dimensions of 7.9 x 4.9 x 4 mm. Their deep, rich blue hue made them stand out, attracting the attention of a discerning customer. Known for its astrological significance, kaka neelam is a highly sought-after choice for jewelry pieces that align with the planet Saturn’s influence, making these stones even more special.
Upon purchasing these stones, the customer requested us to cut and polish them to perfection. At Danushka Gems and Mining, we pride ourselves on meeting such requests with precision and care. After detailed analysis and expert craftsmanship, the stones were transformed into two stunning finished pieces:
A 0.75 ct oval-cut sapphire
A 0.62 ct cushion-cut sapphire
These cuts were chosen to enhance the brilliance of the stones while retaining their natural charm and weight. The customer was delighted with the results, as the polished gems perfectly encapsulated the essence of kaka neelam—ideal for both jewelry and astrological purposes.
Kaka neelam holds a special place in the world of gemstones due to its connection with the planet Saturn. For astrological use, these stones must possess specific qualities to channel Saturn’s energy effectively. The deep blue hue, combined with their natural, untreated state, made these sapphires an impeccable choice for this purpose.
At Danushka Gems and Mining, we specialize in sourcing and crafting gemstones that cater to a variety of needs, from collectors and gem cutters to those seeking astrological pieces. These two sapphires are a testament to our commitment to excellence and the beauty of natural gems.
