1.15 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Tanzania

This 1.15 carat oval purplish pink sapphire presents a transparent, clean face up and measured dimensions of 6.41 x 5.61 x 4.22 millimeters. The stone has been faceted to a mixed brilliant style, and it carries a clarity grade of slightly included when evaluated at eye level. Color intensity is described as medium, and the surface finish is an excellent polish. There has been no enhancement applied to this material, and the sapphire is of Tanzanian origin. These objective specifications provide a full account of the stone as presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, and they form the basis for understanding its optical character, structural proportions, and suitability for fine jewelry mounting.

The mixed brilliant cutting style on this oval sapphire integrates geometric facet sets that work together to maximize light play. The arrangement combines precise brilliant facets with well positioned step facets, creating a network of angles and planes that capture incident light, redirect it through internal reflection, and return it to the eye as brightness and scintillation. The transparent body and medium color allow light to penetrate and be dispersed rather than being absorbed, which enhances both the stone’s overall brilliance and the visibility of its purplish pink tone across different viewing angles. Facet junctions and symmetry are executed to tight tolerances, and the excellent polish produces mirror like facet surfaces that reduce light loss at the surface, increase contrast between flashes, and sharpen the visual definition of each facet. Slight inclusions present at eye level are limited in size and position, and they do not significantly interrupt the stone’s ability to return light, rather they are consistent with natural character and transparency typical of unenhanced sapphires from this region.

In practical terms this sapphire’s proportions and mixed brilliant geometry make it a versatile choice for a variety of settings. The oval outline and balanced dimensions offer an elegant face up presence while the depth supports strong internal reflection, so settings that allow light to enter from multiple angles will showcase its geometric faceting most effectively. It is suitable for a solitaire ring, a refined pendant, or a bespoke design where the precision of the cut can be emphasized. As an untreated Tanzanian sapphire, it carries provenance and natural integrity that matter to collectors and designers who prioritize origin and the absence of enhancements. The Natural Sapphire Company offers this gem with full specification and clear description to assist in selection, and the documented combination of mixed brilliant cutting, excellent polish, transparent clarity, and medium purplish pink color provides a reliable foundation for both aesthetic assessment and technical evaluation.
