0.70 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This exquisite gemstone offers more than just beauty. It represents a unique combination of history, artistry, and enduring allure. The featured gem is a stunning 0.70 carat pinkish-purple sapphire, meticulously sourced from the storied lands of Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka. For centuries, Sri Lanka has been celebrated as a premier location for high-quality sapphires, and this particular specimen is no exception. The geological conditions in this region have produced gemstones with remarkable color saturation and clarity, contributing substantially to the global esteem of Ceylon sapphires.

The structure of this sapphire is a marvel of nature, enhanced further by the skill of our master gemcutters. Its dimensions of 5.36 x 5.40 x 3.19 mm and a mixed brilliant cut coalesce to maximize light reflection and refraction. These technical properties achieve a display of sparkle that sets it apart from other gemstones. Unlike other minerals that may rely solely on external light to emphasize their colors, this sapphire's internal crystal structure allows it to scintillate and shimmer on its own, even under minimal lighting conditions. The round shape complements its natural abilities, creating a seamless visual flow that is as captivating as it is elegant.

The eye-clean clarity grading enhances its appeal, ensuring that no inclusions are visible at eye level. Such clarity in a colored gemstone is rare and highly sought after by collectors and connoisseurs. In the gemstone industry, this level of clarity is an indication of only the highest quality, a trait that immediately elevates the stone’s desirability. Furthermore, the intense color intensity of this pinkish-purple sapphire evokes an image of vibrant sunsets and precious floral blooms, a tribute to the powers of nature in crafting beauty that transcends human capabilities. Certified intense in its color grading, this sapphire communicates an inner brilliance and radiance that color alone could never capture.

The sapphire's excellent polish deserves special mention. Achieving an excellent polish requires an expert touch and an understanding of the stone’s physical properties. At The Natural Sapphire Company, we employ only the most experienced lapidaries who bring out the full potential of each gemstone. The polish not only improves the visual clarity of the sapphire but also enhances its tactile appeal, making it perfect for an item of jewelry that will be cherished and passed down through generations. For both seasoned collectors and newcomers to the world of gemology, the artisanal craftsmanship is undeniably evident, positioning this gemstone as an ideal acquisition for an educated, discerning buyer.
