2.35 Ct. Reddish Pink Sapphire from Mozambique

This cushion shape reddish pink sapphire offered by The Natural Sapphire Company is a transparent 2.35 carat gem, with precise dimensions of 7.90 by 7.35 by 4.71 millimeters, and a mixed brilliant cut. Its vivid color intensity reads as a well saturated reddish pink that remains lively across different lighting conditions, while the stone presents an excellent polish that gives the facets crisp, sharp reflections. The sapphire is unenhanced, preserving its natural color and character, and its origin is Mozambique, a source noted for producing strongly colored sapphires with attractive saturation. The overall presentation is one of clarity and vibrancy, offering a visually rich center stone for a variety of refined settings.

The geometric faceting of this cushion sapphire has been executed to maximize light play through a considered combination of brilliant style crown facets and a carefully proportioned pavilion. The mixed brilliant approach concentrates smaller kite and triangular facets on the crown to break light into scintillating flashes, while the pavilion faceting enhances return of light to the viewer rather than allowing light to leak away. With an overall depth of 4.71 millimeters against an average diameter of 7.625 millimeters the depth proportion is approximately sixty two percent, a proportion that balances strong face up color with lively facet contrast. The cushion outline and rounded corners combined with the geometric facet architecture produce a lively interplay of brilliance and color, and deliver balanced sparkle from both direct reflections and dispersed colored flashes.

Clarity is graded as slightly included when evaluated at eye level, indicating the presence of small internal features that are consistent with natural formation and do not materially compromise the transparency or structural integrity of the gem. These small inclusions can subtly influence light transmission in ways that may enhance the character of the stone, creating depth and a natural appearance in face up view. The excellent polish and precise facet junctions limit surface diffusion of light, allowing the internal facet pattern to remain the primary driver of sparkle and flash. In practical terms the stone presents as clean to the unaided eye in many viewing orientations, while still retaining the individuality and provenance associated with natural, untreated material.

The Mozambique origin contributes to the gemological profile through inherent color zoning and regional crystal habit, and it is consistent with the vivid reddish pink tone observed. This saturation and hue make the sapphire particularly suitable as a center stone for rings and pendants where color presence is desired, while its cushion silhouette adapts well to both traditional and contemporary mounting styles. The stone benefits from the inherent durability of corundum, which rates nine on the Mohs hardness scale, making it an appropriate choice for daily wear with routine care. The cushion form and mixed brilliant faceting also lend themselves to halo, bezel, and multi stone designs, where the gem can be set to emphasize face up color or to accentuate scintillation and light return.

In presenting this sapphire The Natural Sapphire Company provides measured specifications and full disclosure regarding enhancement status and origin, supporting informed decision making for the client seeking a natural, untreated gem. The combination of a vivid reddish pink hue, transparent body, mixed brilliant faceting, and a balanced depth proportion yields a gem that performs well both visually and physically. Prospective settings will benefit from the stone size and face up presence of 2.35 carats, and the excellent polish ensures that the geometric facet architecture is expressed cleanly in finished jewelry. For those evaluating this sapphire, viewing under varied lighting will best reveal the dynamic light play engineered into the cutting geometry and the natural vibrancy of the Mozambique origin material.
