0.64 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Madagascar

This oval cut sapphire weighs 0.64 carat, with exact dimensions of 6.26 by 4.89 by 2.57 millimeters, and a calculated depth of 46.1 percent, a proportion that yields a pleasing face up spread with restrained pavilion depth. The stone is transparent, exhibiting a pinkish purple body color with medium color intensity, and has been evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level, which indicates that inclusions are minute and do not interrupt visual performance without magnification. The cutter employed a mixed brilliant faceting scheme, combining a brilliant style crown with a more step oriented pavilion, to balance scintillation and color return while minimizing windowing and extinction. Facet junctions are crisply executed, the girdle is well centered, symmetry is consistent for an oval of this size, and the polish is graded excellent, producing lively facet reflections and clean light transmission. No enhancement has been applied to this sapphire, and its provenance is Madagascar, a locality known for producing a range of pink to purple material with bright, natural hues that respond well to careful cutting and finishing.

From a rarity and comparative perspective, this specimen is highly unusual, both in its color and in its combination of size and clarity. Pinkish purple sapphires in the sub one carat range are commonly found with either stronger color saturation and inclusions, or as lighter pastel material that lacks transparency, whereas this sapphire combines transparent clarity, medium saturation, and a compact 0.64 carat weight that is ideal for precision gem setting. Unenhanced Madagascan stones showing this balance of hue, clarity, and cut are scarce on the market, making this gem a collector grade option for those seeking an understated, technical quality piece. The mixed brilliant design enhances perceived size and maximizes light return, making the stone suitable as a refined center for a delicate solitaire or as the focal point in a custom halo or multi stone composition. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this sapphire with full disclosure of origin, treatment status, and detailed measurements, ensuring that buyers with technical expectations can evaluate cut proportions, facet architecture, and light performance with confidence.
