3.01 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

Imagine holding a moment of pure joy, a single heartbeat of color that seems to laugh in light. This is that moment, captured in a transparent 3.01 carat cushion shaped purplish pink sapphire from Madagascar, offered with pride by The Natural Sapphire Company. The gem measures 8.20 by 7.06 by 5.69 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut that scatters light in a lively, sophisticated dance, and an excellent polish that allows each facet to sing. Its clarity is slightly included when evaluated at eye level, a whisper of nature that only deepens its authenticity, and its intense color intensity is entirely natural, with no enhancement. When you breathe over this stone and see the warmth bloom, you are witnessing a gem that carries the island heart of Madagascar, a place renowned for producing some of the liveliest, most saturated pink and purplish pink sapphires in the world.

Compare its hue and tone to gemstones from other famed origins, and the differences will make you fall in love all over again. Against the delicate, pastel blush of Ceylon pink sapphires from Sri Lanka, this Madagascar stone reads as more vibrant and modern, a richer purplish pink that holds its own in sunlight and evening light alike. Against the classic cornflower blues of Kashmir sapphires, the contrast is dramatic, yet poetic, with this purplish pink offering the same rare depth, in a different register of emotion. Compared to spinels and pink rubies from Myanmar, which can be bold and saturated in a pure, neon pink, this Madagascar sapphire balances vivacity with a slightly cooler, violet-tinged undertone that makes it uniquely romantic. Consider the legendary padparadscha sapphires from Sri Lanka, with their pink orange sunset tone. Our stone does not chase that warm coral glow, it instead leans into a cooler, floral spectrum where violet whispers through the pink, creating a hue that feels like the first shy bloom of twilight, elegant and unforgettable.

Envision this cushion shaped purplish pink sapphire set at the center of a ring, pendant, or heirloom piece, a jewel that will mark anniversaries, engagements, and small triumphs with equal grace. The mixed brilliant cut gives it a vivacious, scintillating personality that catches the eye from every angle, while the slight inclusions are a gentle reminder that this is a genuine creation of the earth, not a manufactured perfection. The dimensions of 8.20 by 7.06 by 5.69 mm give it a commanding presence without overwhelming the hand, and at 3.01 carats it carries weight and meaning. When you choose a sapphire like this from The Natural Sapphire Company, you are choosing a story that begins deep beneath the Malagasy soil and continues through decades of wear, conversations, and cherished memories. Let this gem be the color that announces your love, the sparkle that celebrates your milestones, and the rare, unenhanced truth that only a natural Madagascar sapphire can bring.
