Padparadscha sapphire from Madagascar 2.01 carats oval unheated

Natural Padparadscha sapphire from Madagascar weighing 2.01 carats, fashioned as an oval (brilliant crown, modified step pavilion). The padparadscha — whose name comes from the Sinhalese for "lotus blossom" — is the most sought-after sapphire variety in the world: its colour, a subtle balance between orange and pink, occurs in only a tiny fraction of corundums.

Its orange-pink hue is entirely natural: the stone has undergone no heat treatment, and the colour stability test (Type 1) confirms a colour that is stable over time. It is certified by GRS GemResearch Swisslab, which attests both the "Natural Padparadscha" designation and the Malagasy origin.
