2.19 ct Natural Heated Orange Sapphire – Square Cushion Cut | GIA Certified

A natural 2.19 ct Square Cushion Orange Sapphire, heat treated, certified by GIA (Report #2235922084) — with color graded Orange-Yellow and confirmed to have passed GIA's color stability test. Orange sapphire is natural corundum colored by iron and chromium in a combination that produces warm, vivid orange — a color that reads with more saturation and warmth than yellow sapphire and more definition than padparadscha. At 2.19 carats in a square cushion with GIA documentation, this is a well-specified example of one of the rarest and most visually striking sapphire colors.

Rarity Analysis

• Color rarity: Vivid orange is produced in smaller commercial quantities than blue, yellow, or pink sapphire — the trace-element combination (iron and chromium) needed to produce a true, saturated orange in natural corundum occurs less often than the combinations behind other sapphire colors.
• GIA-confirmed color stability: This stone has specifically passed GIA's color stability test — a detail most sapphire listings, even GIA-certified ones, do not carry. It is independent confirmation that this golden-orange hue holds up under light exposure over time, not just a point-in-time color grade.
• Size: At 2.19 carats, this stone clears the 2-carat mark, a size threshold where well-colored orange sapphires become noticeably harder to source.
• Clarity: Loupe Clean — eye-clean and clean under magnification, which is not a given in fancy-color corundum of this size.
• Documentation: A full GIA report (#2235922084) independently confirms species, weight, dimensions, treatment, and color stability, removing guesswork from the treatment and durability claims.
• Combined effect: A rare sapphire color, in a statement size, with clean clarity, and GIA-confirmed color stability — a combination that is uncommon to find together in a single, fully documented stone.

Buying Guidance

• Check for GIA color stability confirmation: Some orange and padparadscha-adjacent sapphires can shift in hue under certain lighting or fade over time. This stone's GIA report specifically confirms it passed color stability testing — when comparison shopping, ask whether a comparable stone has been tested and documented, not just described as stable.
• Heat treatment is standard and disclosed, not a defect: This sapphire is heat treated — a widely accepted, industry-standard practice used to improve color and clarity in the large majority of fine sapphires on the market. Honest disclosure of heating is a sign of a trustworthy listing, not a downgrade in quality.
• Verify against the GIA report itself: Confirm carat weight, dimensions, and treatment status against Report #2235922084 rather than relying on the listing description alone.
• Weigh cut quality alongside carat weight: A well-proportioned square cushion mixed cut distributes color more evenly across the face than a poorly cut stone of the same size — carat weight alone doesn't guarantee face-up performance.
• Try Before You Buy: Ask for additional photos or video under different lighting conditions, and confirm the seller's return policy so you can view the stone in hand before committing.

One of a Kind

This is a single natural gemstone, not a manufactured or mass-produced item — no two sapphires are exactly alike, and once this stone sells, this particular listing will not be restocked.

Care of Square Cushion Orange Sapphire

Sapphire is durable (Mohs 9) but should still be cared for thoughtfully. Clean with warm water, mild soap, and a soft brush; avoid ultrasonic or steam cleaners if the stone has any fractures typical of heat-treated material. Store separately from other jewelry to prevent surface scratches, and remove the stone before activities involving harsh chemicals or impact.
