1.41 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 1.41 carat oval purplish pink sapphire from Madagascar offered by The Natural Sapphire Company is a rare combination of color depth, clarity, and precision cutting that directly influences its reflective performance. At 8.13 x 6.20 x 3.30 mm with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish, this gem returns light with a bright, lively face up presentation while maintaining controlled depth and contrast. The medium intense purplish pink color is balanced to allow light to pass and reflect rather than absorb, so you see vivid hue and lively brilliance together. With a clarity grade of very very slightly included as evaluated at eye level, the stone keeps internal interruptions to a minimum, which enhances facet to facet reflection and scintillation. Because this sapphire is not treated, its surface and internal structure have not been altered to mask flaws or modify light behavior, making its reflective qualities an authentic expression of its natural Madagascar origin.

Compared with other gems in the pink and purplish category, this sapphire stands out for both sparkle and durability. Compared with spinel, which can be lively but generally has a lower refractive index, this sapphire produces stronger contrast and sharper facet reflections. Compared with pink tourmaline and morganite, which tend to have lower refractive indices and softer luster, the sapphire presents more immediate brilliance and livelier return of light under varied lighting. Compared with kunzite, which is more prone to cleavage and can lose polish over time, this sapphire maintains its mirror like facets thanks to sapphire hardness and the excellent polish here. The mixed brilliant cut maximizes both table brightness and pavilion flash, producing more scintillation than a simple step cut or a poorly proportioned oval. The result is a gem that looks lively on the hand, as shown in the reference images, with clean, crisp reflections rather than dull or milky light return. For buyers seeking an untreated, high polish, naturally colored purplish pink gem that outperforms many alternatives in both reflective character and day to day wearability, this stone from The Natural Sapphire Company is a compelling choice.
