1.99 ct Natural Blue Sapphire, Ceylon (Sri Lanka) – Cushion Cut, Heated | GIA Sapphire Report 6237949128

1.99 carat cushion-cut blue sapphire, bought by Crescent Gems through our own Sri Lanka (Ceylon) buying — the Colombo office and the Beruwala and Ratnapura markets — and heat-treated, measuring 7.63 × 6.61 × 4.49 mm. GIA records the color as Deep Blue. The report's Comments field separately records that the trade describes this color appearance as "Royal Blue" — a trade description, not a GIA color grade. A center-stone candidate for an engagement ring, or a blue addition to a collection. Accompanied by GIA Report #6237949128, a Sapphire Report stating weight, dimensions, color and treatment. Geographic origin was not requested for this report, so Ceylon here is our own sourcing record rather than a GIA finding.

Rarity Analysis

• Ceylon (Sri Lanka) origin on Crescent Gems' own sourcing record — bought through our Colombo office and the Beruwala and Ratnapura markets. Origin here is seller-stated rather than GIA-determined: geographic origin was not requested for this report.
• Deep Blue is GIA's own printed Color for this stone — the report's Color field, not a description of ours.
• GIA documentation of carat weight, dimensions, color, and treatment from an independent, internationally recognized laboratory.
• An under-2-carat size at an accessible price point.
• Clarity is a real trade-off on this stone — inclusions are visible to the unaided eye, our own assessment rather than a GIA grade, and this is not being represented as an eye-clean or exceptionally rare gem.
• Combined value: the treatment is stated on the GIA report, the color is GIA's printed Deep Blue, and the price reflects a stone with eye-visible inclusions — a straightforward entry point, not a rarity or investment claim.

Buying Guidance

• Clarity is the main consideration here: this stone has, in our own assessment, inclusions visible to the unaided eye rather than being eye-clean, and how noticeable they are can vary with lighting and viewing angle.
• Treatment: GIA Report #6237949128 states Heated under Additional Results.
• Origin (Sri Lanka/Ceylon) is seller-stated based on sourcing; GIA geographic origin determination was not requested for this report, so treat origin as a seller representation rather than an independently verified lab finding.
• The cushion shape's corners benefit from a protective setting (bezel or well-secured prongs), especially for everyday wear.
• Try Before You Buy: because clarity is the main variable on this stone, we recommend viewing it in person — or requesting additional photos/video under different lighting — before purchase, so you can judge exactly how the inclusions affect face-up beauty for yourself.

One of a Kind

This is a single natural gemstone, not a manufactured or lab-created replica — no two sapphires form with identical color, inclusions, and internal character. Once this stone sells, it's gone; there is no duplicate. What you see documented on the GIA report is the exact, individual stone you receive.
