1.32 Ct. Violet Sapphire from Tanzania

This violet sapphire is a beautifully transparent 1.32 carat pear shape gemstone, with exact dimensions of 10.49 x 5.16 x 3.02 mm, originating from Tanzania and supplied by The Natural Sapphire Company. The stone has been fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, combining step and brilliant faceting to balance color and sparkle, and it displays a medium color intensity that reads as a delicate yet rich violet in a variety of lights. Clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means the gem presents clean and pleasing aesthetics to the naked eye while showing internal characteristics only under magnification. The polish is excellent, which enhances the surface finish and allows for crisp facet junctions and superior light return. Importantly, this sapphire has no enhancement, making it a natural and untreated example that appeals to collectors and connoisseurs who prioritize authenticity and geological provenance.

The geometric faceting of this pear shape has been executed to maximize light play, with the mixed brilliant arrangement creating a lively interplay between scintillation and depth of tone. The brilliant facets on the crown act to disperse light and produce flashes of brilliance, while the step components on the pavilion preserve color saturation and create attractive depth when viewed from the profile. The tapered pear outline concentrates fire toward the pointed end, and the balanced facet angles allow for strong internal reflection despite the stone being modest in size. For an educated buyer, the value proposition is clear, the combination of natural Tanzanian origin, no enhancement, a clean appearance at face up inspection, and expert cutting results in a gem that performs well in jewelry settings from solitaire pendants to elegant ring designs. Slight inclusions can authenticate the stone as natural and do not impede its visual performance, while the excellent polish ensures durable wear and long term brilliance.
