1.01 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Tanzania

From a riverbed in Tanzania to the careful hands of master cutters at The Natural Sapphire Company, this pinkish purple sapphire carries a story written in time, pressure, and light. Formed deep within the earth, this transparent crystal was discovered with the promise of exceptional color, and our team recognized its potential the moment it emerged. We worked with expert cutters who respected the natural proportions of the rough, shaping it into a pear form that preserves the gem's original character. The resulting stone, one point zero one carat, gleams with intense color and an excellent polish, and that journey from raw to refined is part of what makes this sapphire feel like a living piece of the Tanzanian terrain.

Weight is the quiet hero of this gem, one point zero one carat placing it in a sweet spot where rarity and wearability meet, and this slight margin above one carat elevates its market value while remaining comfortable for everyday jewelry. At seven point zero six by four point seven six by three point five one millimeters, the pear silhouette balances presence and proportion, allowing the mixed brilliant cut to deliver scintillation from every angle. Slightly included at eye level, the clarity speaks to authenticity rather than perfection, with natural inclusions that confirm its untreated origin, enhancement none, and reinforce its rarity. The intense pinkish purple tone is unusually vivid for its size, and because it is natural and untreated, that color carries extra significance for collectors and connoisseurs who value provenance as much as beauty.

When set, this sapphire will read like a story to the wearer, its one point zero one carat weight catching the light and attention, without overpowering the hand or setting. Whether chosen as a delicate pendant, a refined ring, or a bespoke design, its proportions and mixed brilliant facets respond to movement with lively fire and depth. At The Natural Sapphire Company we honor the stone's Tanzanian roots, and we present this gem as a rare, responsibly sourced treasure, ready to become part of your personal history.
