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

There are moments when a gemstone arrives that requires nothing more than a quiet admiration, a private acknowledgement that something exceptionally rare has been found. This is one of those moments. Presenting a singular, transparent 0.64 carat round pinkish purple sapphire, precisely measured at 5.26 by 5.26 by 3.00 millimeters, cut to a mixed brilliant design and finished to an excellent polish. Hailing from the historic sapphire fields of Ceylon in Sri Lanka, this gem displays an intense color intensity that is both regal and contemporary, a hue that sits beautifully between classic pink and regal purple. Heat treated to reveal its full depth and stability, this sapphire is offered by The Natural Sapphire Company as a unique opportunity to own a stone that feels both intimately personal and unmistakably rare.

In the world of fine gems, clarity and cut are the twin architects of light, and this sapphire has both in refined balance. Graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, the stone presents a clean, transparent face to the observer, with internal features that are minor and that contribute to character without detracting from brilliance. The mixed brilliant cut has been expertly chosen to maximize scintillation and return of light, producing lively flashes and a velvety depth that shifts subtly as the gem moves. The excellent polish ensures every facet edge performs its role, creating crisp reflections and a surface that complements the intense color. Such careful cutting and finishing elevate a stone from beautiful to exceptional, and selection by The Natural Sapphire Company means that this sapphire has been chosen for its rare combination of color intensity, clarity, and cutting excellence.

Durability is a critical consideration when investing in an heirloom gem, and on the Mohs hardness scale this sapphire rates a nine, placing it directly beneath diamond which rates as a ten. That ranking gives you confidence that this sapphire is highly resistant to scratches, and suitable for everyday wear when set in a secure mounting. Compared to many other gemstones, such as topaz, quartz, and garnet, a sapphire offers superior resilience and longevity, making it a wise choice for rings that are worn daily, pendants that rest against the skin, and bespoke pieces that are intended to be passed down. The heat treatment applied to this stone is a common and accepted enhancement in the trade, used to stabilize and intensify color. It does not compromise structural integrity, and with proper care, simple cleaning with mild soap, warm water, and a soft brush will preserve the stone and its polish. For peace of mind regarding cleaning and maintenance options based on your intended setting, The Natural Sapphire Company is available to advise on best practices to ensure lifetime enjoyment.

Owning this pinkish purple sapphire is more than a purchase, it is a private accession into a circle of collectors and connoisseurs who value rarity, provenance, and craftsmanship. This gem is offered as a standalone treasure for a bespoke commission, or as the centerpiece of a custom design created to complement its exact dimensions and color profile. If you would like an independent appraisal, documentation of origin, or assistance with a setting that both protects and showcases the stone, The Natural Sapphire Company will arrange every step with discretion and expert care. Opportunities to acquire sapphires of this color intensity, clarity, and origin are limited, and each one that enters our collection is treated as a lasting legacy.
