8.73 Ct. Topaz from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

When you are searching for a gemstone that answers both the heart and the eye, this Swiss blue topaz from The Natural Gemstone Company presents itself as the perfect solution. At 8.73 carats this round shape gem has an impressive presence, with dimensions of 11.90 x 12.00 x 8.38 mm that translate into a bold, wearable size for a solitaire ring or a showstopping pendant. The mixed brilliant cut has been executed to maximize scintillation and fire, and the excellent polish ensures each facet returns light with a crisp, lively display. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the stone reads as clean and bright to the wearer and observer while retaining its natural character. The vivid color intensity that defines this gem is what people first notice, a pure, saturated Swiss blue that is both contemporary and timeless. Enhancement by irradiation has intensified and stabilized that alluring color, a widely accepted treatment in the trade that produces a reliable and enduring blue, and the overall presentation of this topaz is one of remarkable balance between weight, cut, and color.

The origin of this topaz in Ceylon Sri Lanka is a significant part of its appeal and value, and it is a detail we emphasize proudly at The Natural Gemstone Company. Ceylon has a storied history as a source of some of the world’s finest gemstones, a reputation built on centuries of skilled lapidary work and a geological environment that yields stones with exceptional clarity and vibrant hues. Provenance matters to collectors and to those seeking an heirloom piece, because origin links a gem to a particular terrain and a lineage of craftsmanship, creating a narrative that enhances emotional and monetary value. A Swiss blue topaz that hails from Ceylon brings with it that sense of place and pedigree, it tells a story of origin that many gemstones cannot. For someone who wants more than a pretty stone, provenance connects the wearer to tradition, and to the care taken from mine to market. Purchasing this gem through The Natural Gemstone Company gives you documentation and assurance about its origin, because we stand behind the authenticity and ethical sourcing of each item in our collection.

Understanding the treatments a gem has undergone is important for confident buying, and irradiation of topaz is an established treatment that produces vivid blues while maintaining the gem’s stability and durability for daily wear.

The mixed brilliant cut is optimized to work with the vivid color, producing deep flashes of blue in the pavilion and bright scintillation across the crown, while the excellent polish ensures that light moves freely through the stone. The very slightly included clarity grading indicates that any inclusions are minor and do not interrupt the gem’s overall visual appeal at eye level, making this piece an excellent choice for a centerpiece jewelry commission.
