6.18 Ct. Pink Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 6.18 carat cushion shape pink sapphire presents as a textbook example of refined cutting and natural character, with dimensions of 11.70 x 8.77 x 6.45 millimeters and a depth of approximately sixty three percent relative to the average diameter. The gem has been fashioned as a mixed brilliant cut, combining a brilliant style crown with a more linear pavilion, which is executed to enhance both dispersion and contrast. The crown exhibits well proportioned kite and star facets that feed light into a slightly open table, while the pavilion has precise step facets that produce a controlled play of light and return. The overall proportions and facet junctions demonstrate consistent symmetry, and the excellent polish across facet planes ensures crisp facet junctions and minimal surface diffusion, contributing to an immediate, lively face up appearance.

Evaluated as eye clean at typical viewing distance, the stone retains its natural internal features that serve as unique identifiers and contribute to its provenance and personality. Under magnification one can observe minute silk and isolated pinpoint crystal inclusions that align with natural growth patterns of sapphire from Ceylon, and these inclusions act as a fingerprint for the material without affecting transparency. The light color intensity reads as a delicate pastel pink, characteristic of Sri Lankan origin, and the absence of any enhancement confirms that the hue and saturation are entirely natural, which is both uncommon and desirable. Origin recorded as Ceylon, this sapphire displays the regionally distinct combination of lively tone and refined saturation that collectors seek. For mounting, the cushion outline and balanced depth make this gem suitable for settings that emphasize table visibility and light return, such as halo or solitaire designs with low profile galleries, and its unheated status enhances long term collector value.
