Sapphire Xmas pressie Certification : Ceylon=Sri Lanka?

[Agnesg]

I've got my certification and true enough it tally with the jeweler's information.

Here is the link https://www.pricescope.com/community/threads/sapphire-xmas-pressie.152970/

I do not know why is the blue so much lighter in the photo.. one more point, the certificate states that it has characteristic consistent with those originating from Sri Lanka. It does not say 'Ceylon' but the jeweler said that Sri Lanka an Ceylon is the same place of origin, is that true?

Also, can I have your professional view if there is anything that is 'not right' in the report? Also what does B 6/5 means?Thanx

Yes Ceylon is the older name for Sri Lanka.
B 6/5 is a way to describe the stone's color in terms of hue (Blue), tone(6), and saturation. The link below has a diagram of different colors of Blue using that scale. Nice Xmas present!
