0.62 Ct. Padparadscha Sapphire from Madagascar

This certified Padparadscha sapphire presents an exceptional combination of rarity and gemological integrity. Weighing 0.62 carat, with precise dimensions of 5.91 x 4.76 x 2.56 mm, this oval shape gem has been fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut to maximize both scintillation and color delivery. The stone displays a transparent body with medium color intensity that sits in the classic Padparadscha range between pink and orange, a hue that is considerably rare when found in this size without any enhancement. Clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning the inclusions are minor and do not distract from the overall appearance or light performance, while polish is excellent, contributing to sharp facet junctions and strong luster. No enhancement has been applied to this sapphire, and it comes with certification that supports its natural state and origin from Madagascar, a locality that has produced some of the most desirable Padparadscha material in recent years.

For the educated buyer seeking both beauty and integrity, this stone is notable for several reasons. Natural Padparadscha of this size and color balance is scarce, many comparable stones are either smaller, more heavily included, heat treated, or lean toward stronger pink or orange tones rather than the delicate medium intensity seen here. The absence of treatments elevates market desirability and long term value, and the Madagascar origin adds provenance, reflecting known geological conditions that yield characteristic Padparadscha hues. The mixed brilliant cut enhances brilliance while preserving color face up, making it ideal for a ring or pendant where both fire and true Padparadscha tone are desired. Slight inclusions at eye level are common in natural sapphires and serve as additional confirmation of natural origin, while the excellent polish highlights craftsmanship. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind this gem with full disclosure and certification, and we recommend viewing the stone in daylight to appreciate its nuanced color. For collectors and connoisseurs who prioritize rarity, natural state, and balanced color in wearable sizes, this 0.62 carat Padparadscha is an outstanding example.
