Description

Gemstone: Pink Sapphire - 3.05 Cts.
Madagascar

This 3.05-carat Pink Sapphire from Madagascar displays a pleasing slightly orangey pink bodycolor that approaches the sought-after Padparadscha hue. Madagascar has become an important modern source of fine Sapphires, producing stones noted for their attractive color saturation and brilliance. The gem is fashioned in an oval shape with mixed cut faceting and good proportions, contributing to very good brilliance and overall visual appeal. Slightly included, along with minor nicks to the culet and girdle, the stone has undergone heat treatment, a standard enhancement used to improve clarity and color in Corundum. Accompanied by GIA Report #5231853903, this Pink Sapphire represents a desirable example of Madagascar's contemporary gemstone production, offering collectors an appealing balance of size, color, and documented gemological authenticity.
Measurements: 8.56 x 6.94 x 6.00 mm, 3.05 cts.
