I love this antique cushion, unheated, Ceylon yellow sapphire. Hailing from the gem fields of Balangoda, it was cut & polished in Ratnapura by our gem artist Kumar. Ratnapura is called the city of gems and has been known since antiquity. Marco Polo, a Venetian merchant, explorer, and writer, speaks of this land and its fabled gems in the 13th century. It has a lovely cushion, clean and auspicious.
