0.84 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

The subject of our examination is a distinguished pink sapphire of 0.84 carats, presented in a transparent cushion shape. Measuring 5.52 millimeters by 5.51 millimeters by 2.93 millimeters, this gemstone offers a remarkable balance of size and brilliance. The cut of this sapphire employs a mixed brilliant technique, a choice that maximizes the stone's inherent luminosity and enhances its overall visual appeal. The clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level. This ensures that while minute inclusions exist, they do not detract from the stone's overall aesthetic or diminish its allure when observed without magnification.

A feature of particular note is the intense color intensity exhibited by this sapphire. Its hue can be likened to that of the famed pink sapphires found in locations such as Madagascar or Burma. However, the distinctiveness of this Ceylon pink may be discernible in its unique vibrancy, capturing the light in a manner that is both vivid and softly radiant. When compared to the soft, pastoral pinks of Montana sapphires or the regal imperial pinks of Kashmir gemstones, the Ceylon variant presents a distinctive tonal quality. The pink of this sapphire bears an inner vivacity that echoes the lush landscapes of its geographical origin.

The country of origin, Ceylon, known today as Sri Lanka, has long been celebrated for producing sapphires that possess both exceptional beauty and enviable consistency. Sapphires from this region often reveal a subtle harmony between intensity and luminescence, qualities that have garnered global appreciation and acclaim. The sapphire on hand exemplifies these characteristics. Ceylon, recognized throughout the ages as a premier source for gemstones, offers a heritage of quality that resonates in the rich coloration and clarity of this particular piece.

Moreover, the gemstone’s surface reflects the utmost dedication to crafting precision. With an excellent polish grade, the sapphire's surface is unmarred and smooth, ensuring that the play of light across its facets enhances its spectral properties. When compared with specimens from other famous locales, such as the Padparadscha sapphires of Sri Lanka, which exhibit a fusion orange-pink shade, this gem distinguishes itself through the purity and concentration of its pink tone. Such polish also suggests not only the technical proficiency involved in its preparation but also affirms the enduring quality that accompanies The Natural Sapphire Company's offerings.
