Sapphire

Gemologist’s Note
Vivid, saturated violet without any heat treatment is one of the harder combinations to find in sapphire — most of the deep, fully-saturated violet material on the market owes its color, at least in part, to heat. At 2.10 carats this one holds a rich, true violet with real depth, eye clean, and remarkably lively — the double-brilliant crown over a step-cut pavilion throws light aggressively across the face, so the stone reads brighter and more animated than its size alone would suggest. GFCO confirms natural corundum, no heat, no treatment, with natural inclusions consistent with untreated Sri Lankan material. Size, saturation, and untreated status rarely align this well in violet sapphire — this stone is the exception on all three counts.
