Product description

At The Natural Sapphire Company, we are proud to present an exquisite 1.71 carat oval shape purple star sapphire, a gemstone of remarkable rarity and exceptional beauty. This translucent gemstone, with dimensions of 6.39 x 6.25 x 4.50 mm, is not just a visual splendor but a marvel of natural occurrences. Its cabochon cut reveals a prized star effect, a phenomenon that is both captivating and rare, especially in purple sapphires of this size. Its origins trace back to the revered gemstone mines of Ceylon, now known as Sri Lanka, a location that has produced some of the world's most sought-after sapphires. The provenance alone enhances this sapphire's value, adding a layer of authenticity and historical grandeur.

Renowned for its intense color intensity, this particular purple star sapphire possesses a hue that is both vibrant and alluring. The clarity grade, slightly included, is noteworthy, particularly in a star sapphire where slight inclusions enhance the visible star effect. This makes the gemstone incredibly desirable to knowledgeable buyers who understand that these natural characteristics amplify the gem's unique allure. Our experts have ensured an excellent polish, further elevating its opulence and ensuring that its radiant color is presented in the best possible light. Such attention to detail reflects our commitment to providing only the finest gems.

The rarity of this gemstone extends beyond its color and clarity. Purple is an uncommon color for star sapphires, and finding one with such a significant size and high quality is a rare event indeed. These features make this sapphire an extraordinary find, worthy of any distinguished collection. The Natural Sapphire Company provides transparency and expertise, allowing our clients to purchase with confidence and trust in the extraordinary value of their investment. This stunning gemstone will undoubtedly captivate and impress, offering not only a physical wonder but a piece of geological history steeped in charm and intrigue.
