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

This purplish pink sapphire is a transparent, round gem of precise proportions, weighing 2.37 carats, with dimensions of 7.61 by 7.56 by 5.32 millimeters. The stone is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that balances pavilion depth and crown faceting to optimize light return. Clarity is graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and polish is excellent, yielding clean facet junctions and vibrant reflection. Color intensity is vivid, presenting a saturated purplish pink hue that remains consistent across viewing angles. The sapphire is natural with no enhancement, and its origin is Ceylon, Sri Lanka, a source known for producing well colored sapphires. The Natural Sapphire Company documents the gem attributes and origin as part of our standard provenance practices.

The journey of this sapphire began in the gem gravels of Sri Lanka, where small scale miners recover rough material by hand, separating gem bearing gravels and passing promising pieces to local sorters. The rough that became this particular round purplish pink was selected for its transparency and innate color, then transferred to experienced cutters who evaluated inclusions, yield, and color zoning. A decision was made to apply a mixed brilliant cutting style to preserve weight while enhancing fire and brilliance. Cutting and polishing were performed using traditional lapidary techniques combined with modern optical assessment to achieve excellent polish and precise symmetry. No heat treatment or other enhancements were applied, so the stone retained its natural thermal history and color balance. After cutting, the gem underwent careful documentation, gemological review, and photography, and it was recorded in our inventory with full notes on weight, dimensions, cut, clarity, color intensity, enhancement none, and origin Ceylon Sri Lanka.

As presented by The Natural Sapphire Company, this sapphire sits with refined presence on a fingertip scale, suitable for a single stone ring, pendant, or custom design that emphasizes color and brilliance. The stone benefits from secure settings that protect the girdle and pavilion, and it is durable for regular wear with routine care. Cleaning with mild soap and a soft brush is recommended, avoiding harsh chemicals and sudden temperature changes. For customers seeking verification or bespoke mounting options, we provide detailed reports and design consultation to ensure the gem is handled and set in a way that preserves its provenance and aesthetic qualities.
