Light Blue Ceylon Sapphires. Sri Lanka, or Ceylon, has been a major source of Sapphire for thousands of years, providing the powerful and wealthy of the entire sub-continent with beautiful gemstones to delight the eye, such as Sapphire, Ruby, Spinel and more, and providing an enormous range of colours, gradations and hues in its gemstones.
Sapphire is one of those gemstones with a truly expansive spread of colours, and even in the blue Sapphire, for which Sri Lanka is rightly famed, the range of blues is impressive.
This pair above is interesting, for its lightness of colour is intense and under certain lights it has a touch of lilac.
