5.00 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

This purplish pink pear shaped sapphire carries a sense of antiquity and quiet grandeur that recalls the great jewels of history, serving as a bridge between heirloom tradition and contemporary elegance. This transparent, GIA certified gem weighs 5.00 carats, and measures 13.00 x 8.93 x 5.47 mm, its balanced proportions enhanced by a mixed brilliant cut that marries the scintillation of modern cutting with the timeless silhouette of a pear. Its intense color intensity and excellent polish allow light to move through the stone with an assured brilliance, while a clarity described as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, preserves the gem’s natural character without diminishing its luminous face up presence. Originating from Madagascar and free from any enhancement, this sapphire embodies a lineage of natural formation, a story written in crystalline time that will pass from one generation to the next. The mixed brilliant facets create a lively scintillation that dances across the crown, revealing subtle flashes and depth that make it a centerpiece for a classic setting or a modern bespoke design.

The reflective qualities of this purplish pink sapphire set it apart within its category, and The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present a stone whose optical performance rivals the finest examples of corundum. Compared to ruby, its domestic counterpart in the corundum family, this sapphire exhibits comparable refractive return, though its purplish pink hue emphasizes lively pink flashes where ruby shows deeper red saturation. Against spinel, which often has a slightly lower refractive index, this sapphire offers a crisper brilliance and more defined scintillation. Compared to tourmaline and other pink gemstones, which typically present lower refractive indices and less lively facet sparkle, this sapphire returns light with greater intensity and sharper contrast. The mixed brilliant cut further enhances its reflective behavior, producing a balance of larger flashes and fine scintillation that provides an enduring, eye catching presence. For those who value heritage, enduring beauty, and uncompromising natural origin, this untreated Madagascan purplish pink sapphire stands as a lasting testament to nature and craft, a piece that will carry its story forward through time.
