Natural Unheated White Sapphire Rough Parcel from Bibilegama village Sabaragamuwa Province Sri Lanka
This 5-piece natural white sapphire rough parcel represents the quiet beauty of white to colorless sapphire in its original alluvial form. The parcel has a total weight of 13.10 ct, with individual rough stones weighing A 3.00 ct, B 3.25 ct, C 1.90 ct, D 2.00 ct, and E 2.95 ct.

Each piece carries a soft white to near colorless appearance, giving the parcel a clean and natural feeling before any cutting decision begins.
White sapphire, also known as colorless sapphire, belongs to the corundum family. While blue sapphire is often the most recognized variety, white sapphire is valued for its neutral brightness, durability, and versatility in jewellery design. In rough form, the stone must be studied carefully for transparency, inclusions, shape, body tone, and cutting direction. This parcel is described as facet grade, which means the pieces may carry cutting potential, but the final result depends on each stone’s internal condition and lapidary planning.
The origin of this parcel is Bibilegama village around mining in Sri Lanka, in Sabaragamuwa Province. Sri Lanka has a long gemstone heritage and is known for producing sapphire in many colors, including blue, yellow, pink, purple, padparadscha, and white to colorless varieties. Alluvial sapphire rough from Sri Lankan source areas often has naturally rounded forms shaped by movement through earth and water over time. These natural surfaces make the stones meaningful not only as cutting material, but also as a record of the gemstone’s journey from source to hand.
Because the parcel is unheated, the white to near colorless appearance is presented in its natural condition. For gemstone buyers, jewellery designers, and collectors, this is important because treatment status is part of the stone’s identity and value. Unheated white sapphire rough can be attractive for buyers who want natural corundum material for custom cutting, matching layouts, side stones, small jewellery designs, or gemological study.
