From 4.44 ct Ceylon sapphire rough to a 2.13 ct certified unheated pink sapphire.
This natural sapphire was sourced from Kahawatta village around mining in Sri Lanka and carefully transformed through planning, cutting, and polishing into a finished oval gemstone. With 47.97% weight recovery, the customer’s 2 ct+ target was successfully achieved.
Now certified and ready for its next home in Hungary.
From Nivithigala rough to lavender brilliance — this natural unheated violet sapphire began as a 14.38 ct alluvial rough from Nivithigala village around mining in Sri Lanka and was carefully transformed into a 6.45 ct purple-lavender octagon gemstone.
Handled by Danushka Gems and Minings, this journey shows the beauty of Sri Lankan fancy sapphires, the importance of careful cutting decisions, and the unique character that can only come from natural unheated material.
From rough to refinement — the journey of a natural unheated Ceylon Blue Sapphire.
This sapphire began as a 5.01 ct facet-grade rough from Kataragama village around mining in Sri Lanka, showing intense blue color and clean clarity. Through careful planning and precision cutting by Mr. Jayanath, the rough was transformed into a refined 2.15 ct cushion step-cut blue sapphire, measuring 8 × 6.8 × 4 mm.
Every stage of this journey shows the real value of gemstone work — source knowledge, rough evaluation, cutting decisions, and respect for the natural unheated character of the stone. A beautiful example of how Ceylon sapphire rough can become a finished gemstone with elegance, structure, and purpose.

A custom journey from rough to precision finish. This natural unheated blue sapphire was sourced from Kalawana village around mining in Sri Lanka and carefully cut to meet a special requirement from Japan. Though small in size, the final stone shows a vivid cornflower-blue hue, clean balance, and the kind of precision that only comes from patient sourcing, planning, and skilled cutting.
Rare Chrysoberyl Sixling Crystals from Nivithigala village around mining in Sri Lanka.
These cyclic twin formations reveal the natural crystallographic beauty of chrysoberyl. The central star-like structure and radial growth striations show how multiple crystal segments formed together during geological growth.
One specimen displays classic yellow-green chrysoberyl, while the second shows alexandrite-type color change, shifting from green under fluorescent light to orangish tones in incandescent light.
Sixling crystals like these are not cutting rough — they are mineral collector pieces, preserving natural crystal architecture that forms only under very specific geological conditions.
At Danushka Gems & Minings, discoveries like this appear only occasionally — sometimes just once a year.
Where stones become stories.
From Rough to Reality 💎
Two parcels of natural, unheated Ceylon sapphires sourced directly from Ratnapura, Rakwana, Pelmadulla, Rambuka and Kolonna village around mining in Sri Lanka — carefully evaluated, pre-formed, and cut with balance in mind.
No shortcuts. No enhancements.
From the heart of Rambuka village, Sri Lanka, this rare Alexandrite Cat’s Eye tells a complete story—one that begins in the earth and ends in precision craftsmanship.Originally discovered as a 2.11 ct natural rough, this stone was sourced directly from the mining area, without hand-to-hand trading. Its journey continued locally in Sri Lanka, where traditional cat’s eye cutting knowledge still thrives.
May this festive season bring you clarity, balance, and warmth, and may the year ahead be filled with meaningful connections, honest work, and brilliance that lasts beyond the surface. Thank you for being part of our journey — from the mine to the moment it shines. ✨💎 Warm wishes, Danushka Gems & Minings
