5.66 ct Ceylon Natural Unheated Magnetic Magenta Sapphire Rough from Digandala, Sri Lanka – Top Quality Facet Grade Alluvial Rough

Stone Identity & Quality

This is a 5.66 ct Ceylon Natural Unheated Magnetic Magenta Sapphire rough measuring 10.7 × 8.3 × 6.5 mm. The stone is sourced from Digandala village around mining in Sri Lanka and is presented as top quality facet-grade alluvial rough. It is a natural sapphire in rough form, suitable for professional buyers who understand rough evaluation, cutting planning, color direction, and the transformation process from source-connected rough to finished gemstone. The stone is currently in unheated condition and should be evaluated carefully before cutting.

Color & Visual Characteristics

The main attraction of this sapphire rough is its vivid purplish-pink to magnetic magenta body color. The color appears rich, saturated, and lively in rough form, with a stronger purplish-pink hue rather than a simple light pink tone. Under light, thinner areas can show bright pink transparency, while thicker areas appear deeper and more saturated with a violet-magenta influence. This gives the rough a strong fancy sapphire character and makes color orientation an important part of the cutting plan.

Internal & External Features

This sapphire rough shows natural alluvial surface features, rough skin, small surface marks, and visible internal characteristics. These features are normal in natural sapphire rough and must be studied carefully before pre-forming or cutting. The internal structure, color concentration, and any inclusion positions should be checked from multiple angles to understand the best cutting direction. The stone shows good visual potential, but the final result depends on careful planning rather than rough appearance alone.

Cutting, Specimen, or Treatment Potential

As facet-grade alluvial rough, this sapphire has practical custom cutting potential. The cutter should study the stone’s orientation, depth, usable area, natural surface removal, internal clarity, and color placement before choosing the final shape. The cutting goal should be to balance color strength, face-up beauty, clarity, and final yield. Possible designs may depend on how the stone responds during pre-forming and how the magnetic magenta color can be positioned in the finished gemstone. No final cutting result should be promised before professional inspection and planning.
