This GIA certified pink sapphire from Madagascar is a rare and honest beauty, weighing 2.51 carats and cut into a cushion shape with exact dimensions of 7.41 by 7.15 by 4.83 millimeters, the stone is faceted in a mixed brilliant style that maximizes light return and scintillation, the intense pink hue is natural and untreated, the gem has been evaluated as very slightly included at eye level and has an excellent polish, these combined attributes place it well above the many heat treated or laboratory grown alternatives commonly found on the market, most treated pink sapphires will present with altered color saturation or require disclosure of heating, and lab grown sapphires, while often flawless, do not carry the natural history and geological rarity of a gemstone mined in Madagascar, when compared to cheaper substitutes this cushion shape sapphire delivers the depth of color and optical performance collectors and connoisseurs seek, the mixed brilliant cut balances classical cushion proportions with modern faceting precision so the stone reads larger and livelier on the hand than many stones of equivalent weight but inferior cutting.
