1.09 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Madagascar

Millennia ago, deep beneath the Earth's surface, a remarkable formation took place that would eventually yield one of nature's most captivating gemstones. This 1.09 carat cushion-shaped pinkish purple sapphire was formed under immense pressure and heat within the rich terrains of Madagascar. The unique atmosphere of this region, known for producing some of the world's finest sapphires, provided the perfect conditions for the crystallization of corundum, the mineral family to which sapphires belong. As these conditions converged, trace elements like chromium and iron interacted within the crystal lattice, giving rise to the sapphire's exquisite pinkish purple hue.

This particular sapphire, with dimensions of 6.54 x 5.10 x 3.75 mm, showcases a mixed brilliant cut that enhances its natural beauty and brilliance.
