2.51 Ct. Padparadscha Sapphire from Madagascar

This padparadscha sapphire is a transparent, oval shaped gem weighing 2.51 carats, measuring 9.55 by 6.79 by 4.32 mm, and finished with a mixed brilliant cut. The material displays an intense color intensity and an excellent polish that together maximize brilliance and color saturation. Clarity is graded very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which allows the stone to present a clean appearance to the unaided eye while retaining natural character under magnification. The gem has been heat treated, a common and stable enhancement that improves color and clarity, and it is of Madagascar origin. The proportions are balanced for jewelry application, providing enough depth and table size to deliver lively light return in ring settings or bespoke pendants. The overall presentation is refined and consistent with the quality standards of The Natural Sapphire Company.
