Unheated and Untreated, Fine Blue Sapphires |
Astrological Gem Stones
|
|
What does "unheated and untreated" mean in a sapphire? These
two adjectives, used together or alone, are used to describe a sapphire that is
completely natural and untampered as found originally in the ground, with only
the cut and polish applied. It is estimated that 98% of all sapphires available
are treated with different heating procedures, to basically improve color and
clarity in order to make them darker and cleaner, and only a 2% are available
untreated. Therefore an unheated, blue sapphire is rarer, more precious and
costlier than a regular, treated sapphire.

The truth about "ethical" mining and how it is used by main
stream companies as gimmick for business purposes.
We want to thank all the
people at origin, in the mining areas, directly or partially
involved in this gemstone business. From miners, mine laborers, land owner, cutters, brokers, couriers and all the others. We thank
them by going every year to buy at origin, dealing again with
them to bring back, unheated Ceylon sapphires at the fairest prices. We do not believe
in those main stream companies and all the pumped up, untrue,
5% and 10% donation statements to give back to the community...,
basically
in using the concept of responsible and
eco-friendly, conflict-free sourcing, and
blah, blah, blah, solely & bluntly as a marketing tool, while not really doing anything for the
people at the top of the colored gemstone supply chain
- the artisan
miners.

I love this unheated, Ceylon blue sapphire. It

blue sapphire that emanates a very pure & serene energy. Great size
too, and this is sure to set exquisite in any setting you will
choose.

A very serene, auspicious and beautiful,
unheated, Ceylon blue sapphire that has also a rare, flawless
clarity, hailing from the gem fields
of Elahera, cut & polished in Beruwala, Sri Lanka. Right now
unheated sapphires have reached an all-time high. Any unheated color
in the sapphire kingdom will command exorbitant prices. This is a
very nice blue with a medium velvety color, good cutting, and
perfectly flawless
clarity, destined to make a one-of-a-kind ring or pendant, and at a
price that cannot be beaten.

We've
stocked few star sapphires over the years.
By
far, this is our biggest, unheated, Jyotish quality blue star sapphire, mined in the
Nivitigala area, cut & polished in Ratnapura, Sri Lanka. Good deep
blue color, good and straight star, perfect translucency, the bottom
as in every star and phenomenal stone is always lumpy
and uneven, which is OK . This will mount stupendously either in a
one-of-a-kind, designer ring or pendant.
