This 0.83 ct natural violet sapphire is cut oval and completely unheated, documented on AGCL Report #M263125. Violet sapphire is natural corundum with a distinct lavender-violet character, sitting between blue and purple sapphire in color family — a genuinely scarce hue in the commercial sapphire market, especially unheated and under a carat.
Expert Opinion
Ahmed Shareek's Assessment
"At 0.83 carats, unheated violet sapphire with this level of saturation is genuinely uncommon in the trade — most violet-hued corundum I see has passed through a furnace to deepen color, so this stone's natural saturation and eye-clean clarity make it one of the more interesting sub-carat stones we've offered this year."
Rarity Analysis
A few factors make this stone less common than typical violet sapphire supply:
-
Color: Violet is one of the rarer sapphire hues in commercial supply, sitting between blue and purple and rarely seen with this level of saturation.
-
Size: At 0.83 ct, this stone is near the one-carat threshold where unheated fine-color sapphire becomes noticeably harder to source.
-
Treatment: Unheated, confirmed by AGCL Report #M263125 — the great majority of violet and purple sapphire on the market is heat-treated to intensify color.
-
Clarity: Graded Very Very Slightly Included and eye-clean, an above-average clarity grade for an unheated stone of this color.
-
Documentation: Independently verified on AGCL Report #M263125, confirming species, weight, dimensions, and treatment status.
-
Combined effect: Unheated status, a scarce violet hue, and eye-clean clarity together place this stone well above typical violet sapphire quality found at this carat weight.
Buying Guidance
A few practical points to weigh before purchasing this specific stone:
-
Compare against heated violet sapphire pricing. Unheated stones in this color command a premium over heat-treated equivalents — factor that in if you're comparing options elsewhere.
-
Confirm the setting suits an oval outline. Oval stones show color across a larger face-up area than round cuts of similar weight, so consider a prong style that doesn't obscure the corners.
-
Review the clarity photos closely. Very Very Slightly Included and eye-clean means inclusions are present but not visible to the unaided eye under normal viewing.
-
Note that origin is a store assessment, not a lab finding. The AGCL report does not address geographic origin; Sri Lanka (Ceylon) origin is Crescent Gems' own assessment.
-
