1.07 Ct. Padparadscha Sapphire from Madagascar

The transparent 1.07 carat pear-shaped padparadscha sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is a truly remarkable gemstone, certified by the renowned gemological authority C. Dunaigre. Its unique features set it apart from others, making it a valuable addition to any discerning buyer's collection. This sapphire measures 7.18 x 4.92 x 4.20 mm and showcases a mixed brilliant cut, which enhances its dazzling reflective qualities. Such a precise cut maximizes its inherent brilliance, allowing light to be refracted and reflected within the stone to create a mesmerizing sparkle that is highly sought after in the gemstone market.

The gemstone’s color is another defining characteristic that adds significant value. It has an intense color intensity that perfectly represents the unique blend of pink and orange hues synonymous with padparadscha sapphires. This specific shade is considered extremely rare and is akin to the color of a tropical sunset. The clarity grade is assessed as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating that any inclusions present are minor and do not hinder the stone’s overall clarity or aesthetic appeal. The excellent polish it possesses further contributes to its luster, giving the stone a radiant surface that complements its remarkable color and clarity.

Originating from the gemstone-rich island of Madagascar, this padparadscha sapphire carries the allure of its exotic origins. Madagascar is famed for producing sapphires of exceptional quality, and this stone is no exception. The innate rarity and distinctiveness of Madagascar-sourced padparadschas add to its allure and desirability among gemstone connoisseurs. Understanding the origin of a gemstone can significantly enhance its history and context, presenting not only a piece of natural art but also a story of significantly prized geological phenomena.

In comparison to other gemstones within its category, this padparadscha sapphire stands out with its unique color palette and reflective brilliance. While traditional blue sapphires are known for their deep, velvety shades, the padparadscha offers a softer, more delicate array of colors that are still captivatingly vibrant. The play of light within its facets demonstrates a higher degree of brilliance compared to other gemstones that may not exhibit the same level of precision in their cut and polish. Its exotic appeal, combined with recognized quality certification from C. Dunaigre, ensures that this gemstone is not only aesthetically pleasing but also an investment in rarity and elegance for knowledgeable collectors and enthusiasts. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we pride ourselves on offering gems that exemplify natural beauty, craftsmanship, and credibility, and this padparadscha sapphire is a testament to those values.
