Natural Corundum
This month we feature two stunning stones - a 5.73 ct pink sapphire and a 4.42 ct ruby.
Complimentary colors with unique characteristics.
On the left we have a pink sapphire from Sri Lanka. A 5.73ct pure bubble gum pink that that was found to have no evidence of heat by AGL. A striking color simply labeled “Pink” by AGL, meaning they found no significant modifying color. We all fell in love with the stone in Tucson as it was such a vibrant and unique color, significant size, and a classic cushion cut.
On the right we have a ruby from Burma. A 4.42ct mix of red and pink that was also found to have no evidence of heat by AGL. An exceptional color labeled “Intense Pink-Red” meaning red dominant but a significant amount of pink as well. Some may say just enough red to be a ruby while others may say too pink to be a real ruby. What ever side of the line you roll on, the stone stands in the middle as a unique blend.
