1.60 Ct. Reddish Orange Sapphire from Ceylon (Sri Lanka)

This 1.60 carat oval pink sapphire from Ceylon has been GIA certified, it presents as a transparent, reddish orange stone with dimensions of 7.39 x 6.20 x 4.66 mm, the faceting style is faceted with a mixed brilliant cut that combines a finely executed brilliant crown with a complementary pavilion geometry designed to maximize light return and controlled dispersion, the cutting proportions yield strong face up presence and balanced scintillation, the table and crown facets are calibrated to favor lively brilliance while the pavilion angles maintain depth and saturation, clarity is graded as eye clean evaluated at eye level, polish is excellent, the color shows intense color intensity without artificial enhancement, this is a natural sapphire with no enhancement, origin is Ceylon Sri Lanka.

What gives this sapphire an unmistakable signature are its internal characteristic inclusions, these are predominantly fine oriented rutile silk and microscopic mineral pinpoints distributed in a manner that creates a subtle velvety veil under magnification, the silk is so finely oriented that it diffuses light in controlled ways, enhancing the perceived saturation and producing a soft internal glow that changes with viewing angle, rare isolated crystal inclusions act as pinpoint reflectors that contribute tiny scintillation flashes, minor healed fissures define delicate feather patterns only visible under magnification, the overall inclusion suite is diagnostic of Sri Lankan origin and corroborates the absence of heat treatment, in combination with the expert mixed brilliant faceting the inclusions become part of the gemological fingerprint, the cutter has intentionally preserved these internal features while optimizing facet junctions and symmetry so that the stone maintains both optical purity to the unaided eye and a complex internal landscape under loupe examination, the result is a pink reddish orange sapphire that reads as intensely colored and clean in hand, while offering connoisseurs a distinct inclusion signature to authenticate provenance and natural origin, this gem is offered by The Natural Sapphire Company, a stone that will appeal to technically minded buyers who value precise craftsmanship, natural color integrity, and the unique internal character that defines great Ceylon sapphires.
