2.32 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Tanzania

This 2.32 carat oval pink sapphire measures 8.28 x 5.86 x 5.38 mm, presenting a refined combination of form and optical performance. Cut as a mixed brilliant, the stone pairs a faceted crown designed to disperse light with a pavilion that emphasizes dramatic return and depth. The clarity has been graded as very very slightly included at eye level, allowing a clean visual face up that supports strong scintillation and uninterrupted color. The color displays vivid intensity, the polish is excellent, and the gem has been heat treated to stabilize and enhance its hue. Origin is Tanzania. The Natural Sapphire Company documents these attributes to provide precise information for evaluation and comparison.

The inherent sparkle of this sapphire is a direct result of both its mineral structure and the precise execution of the mixed brilliant cut. As corundum, the gem possesses a relatively high refractive index, which governs how strongly it bends light upon entry and exit. When paired with the carefully calculated angles and facet proportions of the mixed brilliant design, light is efficiently returned to the viewer, producing notable brilliance. The brilliant style facets on the crown create lively flashes and scintillation, while the step influenced facets and pavilion geometry concentrate color and create contrast, resulting in a dynamic play between bright return and deeper flashes. Corundum also has modest dispersion, which contributes to subtle spectral flashes without overwhelming the dominant pink hue, preserving color purity while adding complexity to the visual experience. The gem s clarity grade and excellent polish further enhance performance, because minimal inclusions and crisp facet junctions reduce light leakage and maintain sharpness in reflections. Additionally, the hardness of corundum allows for well defined, durable facets that retain their finish over time, sustaining the stone s optical behavior through regular wear. Together these structural and cutting considerations produce a sparkle and depth that is both technically impressive and visually appealing, characteristics described and authenticated by The Natural Sapphire Company.
