Sapphires from Sri Lanka, particularly those that showcase such an intense color intensity as seen in this gem, are highly sought after due to their vibrant hue and exceptional durability. This sapphire's intense pinkish purple color offers a unique and captivating appeal, setting it apart from traditional blue sapphires and making it a coveted centerpiece for any jewelry piece.

Its intense color intensity enriches its visual impact, creating an enthralling play of light that catches the eye and captivates the heart.

The clarity of this gemstone, graded as very slightly included and evaluated at eye level, highlights its excellent transparency and purity. While inclusions are naturally occurring in gemstones, a very slightly included grade implies that the inclusions are so minor they do not detract from the gem's overall beauty. This level of clarity is particularly significant in sapphires, as it allows light to pass through the stone efficiently, enhancing its internal brilliance and luster. The expert craftsmanship displayed in its excellent polish also adds to the sapphire's allure, endowing it with a mirror-like sheen that amplifies its sparkling appearance from every angle.

In gemological terms, a carat is the standard unit of weight used to measure gemstones, playing a crucial role in their valuation. At a remarkable 3.04 carats, this pinkish purple sapphire joins the ranks of larger, higher-value stones due to its impressive size. Adding such a stone to a collection or jewelry piece not only enhances its intrinsic value but also elevates it to a symbol of sophistication and elegance. This sizeable carat weight, coupled with its meticulous cut and color, highlights the premium quality that discriminating buyers seek when considering an investment in gemstones.

Furthermore, sapphires are recognized for their durability, ranking just below diamonds on the Mohs scale of hardness. This makes them highly suitable for everyday wear while maintaining their lustrous beauty over time.
