1.08 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

This pear shape pink sapphire weighs 1.08 carat and measures 7.49 x 6.02 x 3.36 mm, it is cut in a mixed brilliant style which balances table facet performance with a faceted pavilion designed to maximize light return, the stone presents a transparent body and a vivid color intensity that reads as a saturated pink with a slight purplish overtone in some viewing angles, the cut proportions and the excellent polish work together to deliver consistent scintillation across the pavilion and crown, the clarity has been evaluated at eye level as very very slightly included which indicates exceptional visual purity for a natural sapphire of this size, the origin is Madagascar and the material has been heat treated which is a well established, stable enhancement used to refine color and clarity without compromising structure.

The mixed brilliant cut in this pear shaped gem has been executed to emphasize both brilliance and color, the generous table and carefully angled crown facets allow the vivid pink hue to dominate the face up view while the pavilion faceting returns light in a lively, gemlike pattern, the result is a balanced presentation where color saturation remains strong under direct lighting and flashes of white light enhance perceived brightness, the length to width ratio and the precise symmetry of the pear outline create an elegant, versatile profile suitable for solitary or accent settings, the excellent polish ensures that facet junctions remain sharp and that light travels through the stone with minimal scattering from the surface.

Under magnification the sapphire displays a suite of internal characteristics that give it an unmistakable signature, fine, oriented rutile needles are present in delicate, silk like arrays that trace the natural growth direction of the crystal, these fine needles subtly diffuse light and contribute to the gemstone feeling slightly softer and more velvety in tone when viewed at oblique angles, scattered minute crystal inclusions appear as pinpoint reflective points that enhance the lively scintillation and create a sparkling inner texture, growth zoning is visible as faint, concentric bands of slightly varying color saturation which attest to episodic changes in the crystal chemistry during formation, together the silk needles, pinpoint crystals, and growth zoning produce a three dimensional internal landscape, healed featherlike fractures and tiny negative crystals add further character without compromising the overall transparency, these inclusions are diagnostic of natural origin and are consistent with material from Madagascar, the overall inclusion pattern is aesthetically pleasing, it reads as a fingerprint of the stone and provides collectors and connoisseurs with a reliable marker of natural formation and individual identity.
