2.27 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

One beautiful transparent 2.27 carat radiant shape purplish pink sapphire, measuring 8.62 by 6.45 by 4.11 mm, combines vivid color with precise faceting. The stone is cut in a radiant style with multiple facets that maximize light return, producing balanced brilliance and dispersion across the crown and pavilion. Color intensity is described as intense, with a well saturated purplish pink tone that benefits from Sri Lanka provenance, a region noted for producing sapphires with appealing pink and purple nuances. Clarity is very slightly included evaluated at eye level, indicating only minor inclusions that do not significantly affect the gem’s visual appeal when set. The polish is excellent, contributing to crisp facet junctions and a lively surface appearance. The sapphire has been heat treated, a widely accepted and stable enhancement used to improve color and clarity in natural sapphires, and the gem is offered with full specification and provenance from The Natural Sapphire Company.

On the Mohs scale of mineral hardness this sapphire registers nine, placing it among the hardest natural gem materials second only to diamond which registers ten. For comparison topaz rates eight and quartz rates seven, so a sapphire at nine offers substantially greater resistance to scratching and abrasion than many other common gem materials, making it well suited to everyday jewelry applications. The combination of high hardness, precise faceting, and excellent polish supports long lasting wear, yet prudent mounting choices such as prong or bezel settings and routine inspections help protect against impact and accidental damage. Heat treatment applied to this stone is stable under normal conditions, however avoiding sudden extreme temperature changes and prolonged exposure to strong acids or harsh chemicals is recommended. Cleaning with warm soapy water and a soft brush is effective and safe for regular maintenance.
