SRI LANKA-SAPPHIRE.
Gemstones: 1 round, faceted sapphire 5.57 ct., Origin: Sri Lanka. No indicatiions for heat treatment. DSEF/Idar-Oberstein certificate from von 11/2020 enclosed.
Description: Sri Lanka is one of the most famous places for sapphires, some of the most beautiful sapphires have been and are mined there. The special feature of this sapphire is that it has not been heat-treated. The heating of sapphires can be traced back to the 11th century AD and is practised to improve the colour and purity of the stones. Today, it is estimated that 95% of sapphires are heat treated.
When sapphires, such as this one, have such a beautiful and intense blue hue without the usual heat treatment, one can speak of a true treasure of nature.
