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

One beautiful transparent 2.44 carat pear shape pinkish purple sapphire is presented with dimensions of 12.50 by 6.32 by 3.84 mm, and a mixed brilliant cut that balances a faceted pavilion with a brilliant style crown to maximize light return and scintillation. The stone carries a clarity grade of very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning inclusions are minor and do not detract from overall transparency or brilliance to the unaided eye. Color intensity is described as intense, a rich pinkish purple saturation that remains vivid face up, and the gem exhibits an excellent polish that enhances both luster and facet definition. Importantly this sapphire shows no enhancement, it is an unheated natural gem, and its origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka, a provenance long prized for producing sapphires with lively color and fine crystal habit. For an educated buyer, the combination of weight above 2 carats, eye level clarity, intense color, and unenhanced origin from Ceylon creates a compelling balance of rarity and beauty, suitable for a distinctive center stone in bespoke jewelry.

On the Mohs hardness scale corundum, the species that includes sapphire, rates at 9, which places it immediately below diamond at 10 and well above topaz at 8 and quartz at 7, this high hardness gives the sapphire excellent resistance to scratching and makes it an exceptional choice for everyday jewelry such as rings and bracelets. While its toughness and resistance to abrasion are superior to most colored gems, care should still be taken to avoid hard impacts and abrasions, and routine professional cleaning is recommended to preserve the stone and its polish. At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize documented origin and treatment disclosure because these factors materially affect long term value, and this Ceylon pinkish purple sapphire, unheated, well cut, and well polished, represents both a beautiful wearable gem and a sound choice for a collector or investor seeking natural appearance and verified quality.
