Blue sapphire stone is widely demanded in the world market for its exotic look, enchanting color and rich tone. They are not only beautiful, but they also have historical value; no matter if they’re part of a Blue Sapphire Ring or if they’re sold separately. Continuing with our previous list, let’s look into more detail about the top sources of these beautiful gems and what distinguishes them.
Sri Lanka (Ceylon) Blue Sapphire
The Island of Gems or Sri Lanka provides some of the finest Blue Sapphires in the entire world. Specifically referred to as Ceylon blue sapphire, these are well known for their bright cornflower blue and high clarity. The mines in Ratnapura are also known as the ‘City of Gems,’ and produce pieces that are relatively devoid of any mineral inclusions to suit Blue Sapphire Rings and high-end jewelry.
Kashmir Blue Sapphire
Kashmir blue sapphire are renowned for its enchanting blue color, which can easily be described as a soft, evening sky. Described at the end of the nineteenth century, these Neelam stones are scarce, mainly because the original sources have been thoroughly exhausted in India. A combination of their scarcity and outstanding brilliance ranks this stone amongst the most prized gems in the world.
Myanmar (Burma) Sapphire
Myanmar is another major source known for its royal blue sapphire. Burmese sapphires are characterized by intense color and high density that provide stones with rich saturation and strong brilliance.
Madagascar Sapphire
In the last few decades, Madagascar Sapphire has established itself as a supplier of most of the world’s blue sapphires. Cultured pearls are round and mainly produced in dark and intense blue colors with excellent clarity and brilliance found on the stone from this island nation.
Thailand and Australia
Thailand is not only a producer but also a processing center for these special stones, called sapphire. On the same note, Australian sapphires are known to come with darker undertones of green in the stone and hence dealers cater to this market’s needs.
Regardless of its origin – Sri Lanka, Kashmir, or Madagascar – Blue Sapphire is loved for its special qualities. When one is planning to purchase a Blue sapphire Ring or a loose Neelam stone, a simple knowledge of the background of the gemstone increases its merit.
