About the Item

An extraordinary natural violet sapphire of exceptional character, this remarkable 5.17 carat gemstone showcases a captivating and highly coveted violet hue. Sourced from Sri Lanka, one of the world’s most prestigious sapphire origins, the stone displays a refined balance of blue and purple tones, resulting in a color that is both elegant and intensely rare. Untreated and unheated, the sapphire retains its pure natural beauty, making it a true connoisseur’s gem. Expertly cut to maximize brilliance and color saturation, the sapphire reveals lively internal reflections and impressive depth. Violet sapphires are among the rarest color varieties within the corundum family, particularly in unheated condition and at this significant carat weight. The harmonious proportions and rich coloration elevate this stone well beyond the ordinary, placing it firmly in the realm of high-level collector gemstones. Highly sought after by collectors and discerning jewelers alike, this unheated Sri Lankan violet sapphire represents a rare opportunity to acquire an investment-grade gemstone with enduring value. Its scarcity, natural state, and exceptional color make it an outstanding centerpiece for a bespoke high jewelry creation or a prized addition to a serious gem collection.
