55.02 Ct Natural Blue Sapphire — Sri Lanka
At 55.02 carats, this sapphire is a genuine rarity — cut as a full cushion (22.99 x 18.34 x 13.24mm) and showing a rich, velvety blue that holds its saturation across the entire face of the stone. A sapphire of this size, held between two fingers, is closer to a museum specimen than a typical jewelry stone, and the color here is exactly the deep, even blue that collectors look for in large corundum.
Stones over 50 carats in fine blue sapphire are exceptionally uncommon; most of the world's sapphire production yields material well under 5 carats, so a clean, well-proportioned cushion at this weight represents a genuine find. Sourced from Sri Lanka, historically the source of some of the largest and finest sapphires ever recorded, this stone carries both scale and pedigree.
Sapphire ranks 9 on the Mohs scale, second only to diamond, meaning a stone of this size will remain as durable in a hundred years as it is today — a true legacy piece for a serious collection or a statement pendant.
