3.99 Ct. Purple Sapphire from Madagascar

As a specialist at The Natural Sapphire Company, I am pleased to present a transparent AGL certified Purple sapphire, weighing 3.99 carat, offered in a classic oval shape with exact dimensions of 10.99 x 7.90 x 5.70 mm. The gem is cut in a mixed brilliant style, combining a faceted pavilion with a refined crown to maximize scintillation and light return, while the excellent polish delivers crisp facet junctions and optimal surface finish. Clarity is graded eye clean at eye level, indicating that no inclusions are visible to the naked eye under normal viewing, a desirable trait for a gem of this size and color. Color is described as intense purple, a hue driven by natural trace elements within corundum, and this specimen has no enhancement, meaning the color and clarity are entirely natural and stable without heat treatment or other interventions. The AGL certification confirms both the gemological parameters and the reported origin of Madagascar, providing independent verification of the properties and provenance of the stone.

For the conscious buyer, provenance and ethical sourcing are as important as gem quality, and this sapphire meets both criteria. Our sourcing practices at The Natural Sapphire Company prioritize transparency, traceability, and partnerships with responsible miners and local communities in Madagascar, ensuring that each piece is supplied under conditions that respect labor standards and environmental stewardship. An untreated, eye clean, 3.99 carat intense purple sapphire is rare in the market, offering both aesthetic distinction and long term value for a curated collection, whether set for an engagement ring, a pendant, or kept as an investment grade specimen. The combination of AGL certification, no enhancement, and clear chain of custody allows educated buyers to make informed decisions, confident in the gemological integrity and ethical background of their purchase. If you would like a detailed copy of the AGL report, high resolution imagery, or consulting on settings and care, I can assist you further.
