1.97 Ct. Padparadscha Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

At The Natural Sapphire Company, we present a GIA certified, transparent padparadscha sapphire, pinkish orange, 1.97 carat, oval shape, dimensions 7.47 by 6.30 by 5.12 millimeters. The gem is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut, combining a scintillating crown facet pattern with a modified pavilion geometry that is optimized to balance brilliance, scintillation, and face up color. The measured pavilion depth of 5.12 millimeters yields an approximate depth proportion of 74 percent relative to the average diameter of 6.89 millimeters, a proportion that enhances saturation and gives the stone a pleasing depth of tone when mounted. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, with fine natural inclusions that are consistent with an untreated Ceylon corundum, transparency remains very good, and the excellent polish maximizes light return and gemstone luster. This sapphire is unenhanced, originating from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, and the accompanying GIA report verifies natural origin and the absence of enhancement, attributes that add to its desirability among collectors and connoisseurs.

Beyond its gemological merits, padparadscha sapphires carry a range of traditional metaphysical and healing associations, and many lapidary and holistic practitioners attribute specific energetic qualities to this color range. The pinkish orange hue is often described as a bridge between heart energy and sacral creativity, promoting emotional balance, compassionate communication, and inspired expression. This variety is said to stimulate creativity, aid in resolving emotional stagnation, and support confidence and clarity when making heartfelt decisions. Because corundum ranks at hardness nine on the Mohs scale, this untreated padparadscha is well suited to daily wear, allowing its wearer to engage with its perceived energizing properties in rings, pendants, or other personal pieces. For clients who favor technical detail and energetic meaning, this stone offers a rare combination of precise cut geometry, certified natural origin, and a color that inspires both aesthetic appreciation and metaphysical reflection.
