Ethiopian blue sapphires are natural gemstones that originated from Ethiopia. They are known for their vibrant, dark blue color, which distinguishes them from Sri Lankan and other sapphire varieties. Ethiopia has emerged as a promising source of high-quality sapphires at affordable prices.
Ethiopian Blue Sapphire is a variety of the mineral corundum found in the Tigray region of northern Ethiopia. Discovered relatively recently around 2016, these sapphires often exhibit a deep to medium royal blue color, sometimes with slight violet undertones. Ethiopian sapphires are generally mined through small-scale operations, and many are heat-treated to enhance clarity and color. What makes them stand out is their vivid saturation, natural transparency, and unique internal structure, which can sometimes resemble that of the best Sri Lankan and Madagascar sapphires.
