Stone Identity & Quality

This is a 4.33 ct Facet Grade Ceylon Natural Sapphire Rough, measuring 8.7 × 8.5 × 5.7 mm. The stone is a natural unheated alluvial sapphire rough sourced from Ratnapura village around mining in Sri Lanka. With clean clarity and a useful rough form, it is suitable for buyers who are looking for natural sapphire material with custom cutting potential.

Color & Visual Characteristics

The stone displays a soft pink to pastel Orangy-pink visual character, with gentle color concentration visible through the rough body. Under light, the sapphire shows a pleasing translucent appearance, allowing the internal structure and color direction to be studied before cutting. The color is not over-described as perfect or guaranteed after cutting, because the final appearance will depend on cutting orientation, depth, and polish.

Internal & External Features

This sapphire rough has a naturally rounded alluvial shape, showing the type of surface character often found in river-related Sri Lankan gem deposits. Some external surface marks and natural rough features are visible, which is normal for uncut alluvial material. Internally, the stone presents clean clarity based on the available details, giving the cutter a better opportunity to plan the final faceted gemstone.

Cutting & Treatment Potential

As a facet grade sapphire rough, this stone has good potential for custom cutting. The final shape should be decided after studying the depth, color zoning, and best orientation for light return. Possible cutting options may include cushion, oval, rounded fancy, or another custom design depending on the cutter’s analysis. The stone is natural and unheated, and no treatment result is overclaimed.
