Ceylon, which is now known as Sri Lanka, is one of the best-known sources for sapphire gems, particularly Ceylon blue sapphire. Sri Lanka has produced sapphire for many years and a few of the famous sapphires include the 423 carat Logan Blue Sapphire, the 563 carat Star of India, and the 478 carat Queen Marie of Romania's Sapphire. Sri Lanka still produces beautiful sapphire gems to this day.
Sapphire, with its Mohs hardness score of 9, second only to diamond, is one of the most valuable and wearable of all gemstones. Famed for its brilliance and rich blue color, sapphire actually occurs in a wide range of colors, including pink, yellow and green. Natural sapphire gemstones may be used in various jewelry designs, from engagement rings to earrings. Our Ceylon sapphire stones are available in various shapes, cuts and colors, such as blue, fancy pink, yellow, violet and white. Sapphire is every color of corundum except for red, which is ruby. The name corundum comes from the ancient Sanskrit "kuruvindam", while the name "sapphire" comes from the Persian word "safir". Sapphire is seen as the guardian of love. When given as a gift it enhances love and tunes your spirits to one another. Also, it has been used to banish envy and jealousy as well as promote fidelity in marriage.

I have ordered from Gem Select before. I was trying to order again but did not find a good selection of rubelitte. I ended up ordering from another company. I told a lot of my clients about your wide selection of amethyst. They could not believe it. These clients have been with me forever. The stones I am buying are for them. They will NEVER believe I went out and bought them stones like this. It would not be possible without you. StarLanka did not have a good selection of amethyst. I guess different companies carry different things A?A,A?A?A?A,A?A 3/4 A?a'A?'A?A,A?
O.K. experience. Pictures could be a little better, offer more views, especially full face on, to get a better idea of how a stone would look mounted in a ring, i.e., how centered the star is. The prices seem pretty fair.
I purchased another kyanite'the intense color saturation of this stone is incredible. The quality was as described and pictured in the photos. Always happy with my purchases!
Everything was right there - The site provided the exact minerals I was looking for. The search for items filtered easily, with results showing pictures of exactly what I bought, at reasonable prices. It doesn't get any better than this. Well, the shipping charges could have been lower, but they weren't outrageous.
