0.41 Ct. Pinkish Purple Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This pinkish purple sapphire began its story deep within the storied gem gravels of Ceylon Sri Lanka, where centuries of skilled miners have learned to read the earth and coax rare beauty from alluvial beds, this transparent 0.41 carat round gem measures 4.45 by 4.55 by 2.66 millimeters, and it arrived at our workshop as a small, vivid promise, the cutter chose a mixed brilliant cut to balance lively sparkle with a flattering face up presentation, the medium color intensity bathes each facet in a soft rose violet glow, the clarity was evaluated as very very slightly included at eye level which means the gem reads clean to most viewers, the polish is excellent which intensifies the stone s fire and return of light, and importantly this sapphire has no enhancement, its color and clarity are natural, The Natural Sapphire Company sources and certifies stones like this to honor their provenance and to offer a direct connection to the Sri Lankan mines and the generations of gem cutters who shaped them.

When you imagine this gem set and worn, durability matters, sapphires rate nine on the Mohs scale of mineral hardness, diamonds are ten, rubies share the nine rating since they are the same species corundum, topaz is eight and quartz is seven, this places our Ceylon sapphire among the hardest gems available for everyday jewelry, it resists scratches far better than many popular stones, making it an excellent choice for rings, necklaces, and heirloom pieces that will be worn often, the very very slightly included clarity does not compromise toughness, and the excellent polish helps prevent micro abrasion over time, for practical care we recommend routine gentle cleaning and secure settings such as four prongs or a bezel for enduring wear, this 0.41 carat round pinkish purple sapphire is a gentle but resilient companion, a piece that carries the landscape of Sri Lanka in its color and the craftsmanship of the cutter in every facet, if you would like this sapphire set into a custom design our team at The Natural Sapphire Company would be delighted to guide you through metal choices and mounting styles that celebrate its hue and ensure it can be enjoyed for generations.
