Of the three traditional sapphire-producing regions, Ceylon is famous for gens that exhibit a soft and delicate blue. Sapphires from Ceylon, where they occur in gem gravels washed downstream from mountain sources, have been prized for thousands of years, appearing in New Kingdom Egyptian jewels from the first millennium before Christ.
