This 2.01ct natural purple pink sapphire displays a captivating bi-colour effect that shifts between violet-purple and warm pink depending on the viewing angle and light source. Chromium and vanadium interact within the corundum crystal to produce a colour that cannot be replicated through any treatment process.

At just over two carats with generous 8.77 x 6.35 mm proportions, this oval mixed cut sapphire delivers substantial visual presence. The unheated status is significant, this sapphire has not undergone any heat treatment, preserving the complex bi-colour interplay exactly as nature created it.

Origin & Certification

This sapphire originates from Ceylon (Sri Lanka), the only source consistently producing sapphires with this distinctive purple-pink bi-colour character. The geological conditions of Sri Lanka’s gem-bearing gravels create the precise trace element chemistry responsible for these unusual colour combinations.

The Arctic Gem Certification Laboratory (AGCL) has confirmed its natural origin, unheated status, and purple pink colour on the accompanying certificate. Heat treatment would alter the delicate balance of purple and pink tones, so the unheated designation confirms this bi-colour character is entirely natural.

Why This Purple Pink Sapphire

Bi-colour sapphires appeal to buyers seeking something genuinely different, a stone that cannot be easily compared or categorised. This makes them compelling for bespoke engagement rings and statement jewellery where individuality matters.

At $2,800 AUD for a 2.01ct unheated bi-colour Ceylon sapphire, this stone represents collector-grade value. Comparable purple pink sapphires from Ceylon with unheated certification are difficult to source. The oval cut is the most versatile shape for jewellery settings, suitable for solitaire rings, halo designs, pendants, and earrings.
