4.06 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

This 4.06 carat cushion shape pink sapphire from Madagascar, offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, occupies a rare position among pink sapphires available on the market. Many pink sapphires are found under three carats, and stones with vivid color and transparent clarity at over four carats are uncommon, especially with the balanced proportions shown here. At 9.36 by 9.24 by 4.58 mm the gem presents a generous face up size that reads larger than its carat weight might suggest in a poorly cut stone. Against more common small pink sapphires, this gem offers immediate visual impact, a richer presence on the finger, and a stronger capacity to carry a design with confidence. Where lower weight stones can look delicate and require additional accent diamonds to create presence, this sapphire stands as a centerpiece on its own, making it an excellent choice for standalone solitaires or simple halo settings that emphasize color rather than size masking.

Beyond the attractive carat weight, the quality details set this sapphire apart from many market alternatives. The mixed brilliant cut brings lively sparkle and efficient light return while maintaining broad color saturation across the table. The clarity grade is very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone is effectively clean to normal viewing and retains a lively, transparent appearance unmatched by heavily included material. The vivid color intensity is the primary value driver here, and combined with an excellent polish this sapphire offers both brilliant fire and pure color. The piece has been heat treated, a common and accepted enhancement that improves color and clarity in natural sapphires, and The Natural Sapphire Company discloses this openly, in contrast to some sellers who obscure treatment or origin. From a proportions perspective the 4.58 mm depth supports strong color saturation without blocking brilliance, giving a pleasing balance that many lower grade or deep cut stones fail to achieve. In comparison to alternatives that trade face up size for weight through deep cuts or that sacrifice color for clarity, this Madagascar pink sapphire achieves a rare equilibrium of weight, color, and cut.

Weight is the most important factor in how a colored gemstone carries value and rarity, and at 4.06 carats this sapphire crosses a threshold where supply diminishes and demand grows significantly. In the market for colored gemstones, large stones with vivid color show disproportionately higher per carat prices because finding that combination becomes increasingly unlikely as size increases. That is why a 4.06 carat vivid Madagascar pink sapphire often represents better long term value and a more unique ownership experience than pairing multiple smaller stones to reach the same visual mass. Sapphires are also durable for everyday wear, so a stone of this weight and quality is not only a showpiece but a practical choice for an engagement ring or a frequently worn heirloom. The Natural Sapphire Company sources responsibly and provides transparent information about origin and treatment, allowing you to compare this gem directly to others on the market where such disclosures may be incomplete. If you are considering a bespoke setting, the dimensions and mixed brilliant cut of this cushion shape make it versatile, working beautifully in classic four prong mounts, elegant bezel designs, or refined halo settings that enhance color without overwhelming the gem. For buyers seeking rarity, superior face up presence, and honest disclosure, this Madagascar 4.06 carat pink sapphire stands out among its peers.
