2.29 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This cushion shape pink sapphire from Ceylon, presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, is a transparent GIA certified gemstone weighing 2.29 carats, with precise dimensions of 8.68 by 6.95 by 3.67 millimeters. The stone has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut that balances scintillation and table brilliance, producing a lively play of light that complements its intense color intensity. Clarity was assessed as very very slightly included at eye level, indicating exceptionally clean appearance to the unaided eye while retaining natural internal characteristics that confirm its origin and authenticity. The polish has been evaluated as excellent, allowing for crisp facet junctions and a smooth surface finish that enhance both light return and wearability.

From a gemological perspective the combination of weight, cut, and proportions produces an elegant presence suitable for a principal center stone in a ring, a pendant, or a bespoke piece of jewelry. The mixed brilliant pavilion contributes to durable light performance, while the cushion outline offers a classic silhouette with softened corners for secure bezel or prong settings. The sapphire is unenhanced, with no heat or diffusion treatments reported, a significant attribute for collectors and those who prefer natural, untreated gemstones. Origin from Ceylon, Sri Lanka, places this stone within a long tradition of high quality sapphires known for their saturated hues and clarity, and the accompanying GIA certification provides independent verification of the gem’s key properties for peace of mind when commissioning a setting or when adding the stone to a collection.

In practical terms the sapphire’s hardness and toughness make it suitable for everyday wear with appropriate care. Sapphires register nine on the Mohs hardness scale, second only to diamond among commonly used gemstones, which means the stone resists scratching and retains polish well over time. Care recommendations include routine cleaning with warm water, mild detergent, and a soft brush, avoiding aggressive chemicals and extreme thermal shock, and removing the stone during heavy manual work to minimize risk of impact to the mounting. Because this sapphire has not been subjected to enhancement, common cautions regarding certain cleaning methods apply, and The Natural Sapphire Company will provide the GIA report with the stone to document its untreated status and other gemological details for both insurance and appraisal purposes.

Beyond its physical and gemological characteristics, pink sapphire has an established place in the language of gemstones for its associations with emotional and spiritual well being. Traditionally connected to the heart and the energy of compassion, pink sapphire is often regarded as a stone that supports emotional resilience, selfless love, and the harmonizing of relationships. Practitioners of crystal healing associate pink sapphire with the heart chakra, suggesting it can assist in opening one’s capacity to give and receive affection, while providing a steadying influence during periods of emotional stress. Because sapphires are also linked to mental clarity and integrity, pink sapphire can be viewed as a balancing stone that encourages empathy without sacrificing personal boundaries. On a practical level many wearers report that pink sapphire promotes confidence, inspiration, and a refined sense of purpose, qualities that align with its historical use as a talisman for wisdom and protection. These metaphysical attributes, combined with the gem’s visual appeal and documented natural origin, make this 2.29 carat Ceylon pink sapphire a considered choice for someone seeking both the tangible and intangible qualities of a fine colored gemstone.
