6.03 Ct. Purplish Pink Sapphire from Madagascar

This truly singular gem arrives to you as a C.Dunaigre certified, transparent purple 6.03 carat cushion shape purplish pink sapphire, a rarity that we are proud to present at The Natural Sapphire Company. Measuring 11.29 x 9.37 x 6.25 mm, this example has been fashioned with a mixed brilliant cut to marry the depth and intimacy of a cushion form with the scintillation of modern cutting. The stone carries a clarity described as very very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, and it displays an intense color intensity with an excellent polish. Originating from Madagascar, and gently heat treated to reveal and stabilize its inherent beauty, this sapphire is not merely a jewel, it is an heirloom quality canvas of color and light, offered in a market where stones like this are seldom offered to private collectors.

To understand the significance of its color and presence, consider the great colored gems of history, those that have become metaphors for power and romance, and then see how this sapphire holds its own. The romantic pink of famous rare diamonds like the Pink Star and the Daria i Noor has long captured imaginations with their evocative hues. This stone offers a parallel narrative in corundum, a purplish pink that is more complex than a simple pink, more regal than a simple purple. Its tone recalls the rare padparadscha sapphires that have fetched legends in auction rooms, while its saturation levels recall the intense, life affirming color of celebrated rubies such as the Sunrise Ruby. Where the Star of India and the Logan display fame through scale and lore, this gem instead offers a rare marriage of size, color intensity, and clarity. It is a modern gem of distinction that could comfortably sit in the same conversation as those historical icons because it manifests the essential qualities that make a gemstone memorable, those being scarcity, purity, and an unmistakable charisma.

The technical virtues of this sapphire are the reasons its presence is so immediate. The mixed brilliant cut has been chosen to enhance return of light through the crown while preserving the cushion silhouette that flatters many settings. At 6.03 carats and with dimensions of 11.29 by 9.37 by 6.25 millimeters, the stone has substantial physicality without overwhelming a refined setting. Its clarity, noted as very very slightly included at eye level, places it among stones that allow light to pass with minimal obstruction, creating a bright, alive window into its internal color. An excellent polish means each facet is executed to optimize brilliance and fire, an effect that elevates the intimate purplish pink into something incandescent. Heat treatment is acknowledged and documented, a stable and widely accepted enhancement that reveals the stone at its peak, and the C.Dunaigre certification formalizes its origin in Madagascar. All of these attributes together produce a gem whose intrinsic value is not simply measured by weight, but by the harmonious interplay of cut, color, clarity, and provenance.

Owning this sapphire from The Natural Sapphire Company is an invitation into an exclusive circle of connoisseurs who understand that the most desirable gems are those that are uncommon in every meaningful way.

For the collector who appreciates lineage in their jewels, there is a palpable continuity between this stone and the storied gems of history.
