Stone Identity & Quality

This is a 5.45 ct Ceylon Natural Unheated Magenta Pink Sapphire rough measuring 11.9 × 8.9 × 6 mm. The stone is sourced from Digandala village around mining in Sri Lanka and is offered as fine quality facet-grade rough. It is a natural sapphire in rough form, suitable for buyers who understand cutting evaluation, rough planning, color direction, and the transformation process from natural sapphire rough to a finished gemstone. The stone is presented as unheated Ceylon sapphire rough with strong color appeal and practical cutting potential.

Color & Visual Characteristics

The main visual feature of this sapphire is its rich magenta-pink body color. The color appears intense, vivid, and strongly saturated in rough form, with a slightly purplish-pink influence visible under light. This magenta-pink tone gives the stone a lively fancy sapphire character that is different from common blue, yellow, or light pink sapphire material. Under strong light, the body can show brighter pink areas, while thicker areas may appear deeper and more saturated. Final face-up color after cutting will depend on orientation, depth, pavilion planning, and how the cutter positions the color within the finished stone.

Internal & External Features

This sapphire rough shows natural surface features, rough skin, and internal characteristics that are expected in natural alluvial gemstone material. The provided details describe the material as fine quality with good clarity for rough evaluation. Before cutting, the stone should be examined from multiple angles to identify clean areas, inclusion positions, surface removal requirements, and the best cutting direction. These details are important because they directly influence the final shape, weight retention, and face-up beauty of the finished sapphire.

Cutting, Specimen, or Treatment Potential

As facet-grade rough, this stone has practical custom cutting potential. The cutter should study the best orientation to preserve the rich magenta-pink color while maintaining good proportions and usable yield. Possible cutting direction may depend on the stone’s internal structure, depth, clean areas, surface features, and color placement. The goal should not only be to save weight, but to create the best balance between color, clarity, shape, and final visual performance. The stone is currently described as natural and unheated, and no cutting or treatment result should be guaranteed before professional inspection.
