1.17 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.17 carat cushion sapphire from Ceylon, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, is a technically refined example of mixed-cut faceting and natural color expression. The stone measures 6.40 x 6.27 x 3.55 mm, yielding an overall depth percentage of approximately 56 percent, a proportion that balances durability with optical return. The mixed brilliant cut combines a brilliant-style crown with a modified pavilion, producing strong table return, concentrated scintillation, and a fine interplay of light and internal flash. The gem is transparent with an intense pinkish purple hue and very good saturation and tone uniformity across the table and pavilion facets. Clarity is graded slightly included at eye level, with small pinpoint and crystal-type inclusions that are localized and do not materially affect stability. These internal features often act as natural identifiers of origin and growth history, and when paired with the excellent polish they contribute to a lively, faceted surface finish and crisp facet junctions. Importantly, this sapphire is natural and without enhancement, which, in conjunction with its Sri Lankan provenance, increases its appeal to connoisseurs who prioritize untreated material and traceable origin.

From a metaphysical perspective, the pinkish purple tonality of this sapphire situates it at the intersection of heart-centered and higher-mind energies, making it appealing to those who seek a balance of emotional clarity and intuitive insight. Traditionally, pink and violet sapphires are associated with compassionate communication, emotional healing, and gentle transformation; practitioners often use such stones to soothe stress responses, enhance self-love, and open pathways for empathetic expression. The intensity and natural origin of this piece are frequently cited by metaphysical users as factors that preserve the stone’s perceived energetic integrity, amplifying meditative focus, creative inspiration, and alignment between the heart and third-eye centers. Whether set as a debut engagement gem or incorporated into a personal talisman, this Ceylon cushion sapphire combines measurable gemological quality with the symbolic attributes sought by collectors and healers alike.
