2.28 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

Millions of years ago, beneath the ancient landscapes of Madagascar, a remarkable natural process began in the heart of the earth. The GRS certified 2.28 carat purplish pink sapphire was slowly taking form. Deep underground where temperatures soar and pressures mount, elements such as aluminum and oxygen combined in perfect measure. During this remarkable geological episode, trace amounts of other elements subtly influenced the stone's color to produce a rare purplish pink hue. This time-intensive natural phenomenon, spanning countless millennia, resulted in the crystalline formation you now behold. The sapphire, having undergone the tumultuous yet precise processes of nature, emerged in its pristine state. Vestiges of this creation story are still evident in the stone's clarity and vibrancy, a testament to the geological conditions that shaped it.
