The Ceylon Blue Sapphire — celebrated as the “King of Precious Stones” — is the most iconic gemstone of Sri Lanka. First discovered in the ancient mines of Ratnapura around 500 BC, these gems have adorned royalty for centuries. One of the world’s most famous sapphires — a magnificent 12-carat Royal Blue sapphire Sri Lanka — is proudly featured in the British Crown Jewels and continues to symbolize elegance, nobility, and power.

Today, Ceylon sapphire remains highly coveted for its exceptional clarity, brilliance, and rich hues that range from cornflower blue to deep royal blue. With values reaching hundreds of thousands of dollars for a single high-quality stone, Sri Lankan sapphire stands among the most desirable gemstones ever discovered.
