1.97 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Tanzania

This 1.97 carat pear shape pink sapphire from Tanzania, presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, stands apart from more common pink gems because of its combination of color, clarity, and cut. Measuring 9.63 x 6.45 x 4.17 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut and an excellent polish, this transparent stone returns light with lively scintillation and broad flashes that many pink gemstones simply cannot match. Compared with morganite, which tends toward softer pastel tones and a more gentle, watery sparkle, this sapphire shows a denser, medium intense pink that reads vividly at a glance. Compared with pink tourmaline and pink topaz, which can show attractive color but often carry more surface-reaching inclusions or require frequent re-polishing to retain their brilliance, this sapphire combines durability with a refined facet pattern that keeps light dancing across the pavilion and crown. The mixed brilliant cut was chosen to maximize light return within the sapphire s refractive index, producing crisp facet junctions and lively scintillation that make the gem appear larger and more luminous than other stones of equivalent weight.

The fact that this sapphire is unenhanced increases its desirability and long term value, especially when many market alternatives are heat treated or clarity enhanced. Its clarity is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, which means it maintains excellent transparency while retaining natural character, a balance many collectors and designers prefer to the sterile appearance of heavily treated material. On the Mohs scale sapphire sits at 9, far harder than beryl based pinks and most tourmalines, which translates into superior resistance to scratches and ideal suitability for everyday jewelry, especially rings and pendants. The combination of Tanzanian origin, medium intense color intensity, and a precise mixed brilliant cut gives this gem a unique voice among pink stones, offering the saturated hue of rare natural pink sapphires, the lively brilliance one expects from expertly cut material, and the confidence of a durable, untreated gem. For clients seeking a pink gemstone that delivers both presence and performance, this 1.97 carat pear shape pink sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company represents a compelling choice in both aesthetic and long term value.
