0.60 ct Natural Unheated Lavender Sapphire – Oval Cut | AGCL Certified | Sri Lanka (Ceylon)

A natural 0.60 carat lavender sapphire in an oval cut, completely unheated, documented on AGCL Report #M262738. Lavender sapphire is natural corundum in the violet-gray range — a muted, atmospheric hue that sits between pure violet and gray. At 0.60 carats in an oval, this is a practical earring and accent pendant scale in a color that is distinctly different from the conventional pink-blue-yellow sapphire palette. Unheated lavender preserves the natural gray-violet balance that heat treatment tends to shift.

Rarity Analysis

Lavender sits outside the four commercial sapphire colors — blue, pink, yellow, and white — that dominate global production, and unheated stones in this pale violet-gray hue are a small fraction of what reaches the market.

• Color: Lavender — a pale, gray-toned violet — is uncommon in commercial sapphire supply; most violet-family material offered is either more saturated purple or has been heat-treated toward blue or pink.
• Size: At 0.60 ct, this stone falls within the typical size range for lavender sapphire, which is most often found and cut under 1 carat; well-matched pieces above half a carat in this hue are harder to source.
• Treatment: The large majority of commercial sapphire on the market is heat-treated; this stone carries a "No Indication of Heating" finding on AGCL Report #M262738, placing it in the smaller unheated segment.
• Clarity: Eye-clean clarity — no visible inclusions under normal viewing — is a meaningful quality marker at this size rather than a given.
• Documentation: AGCL Report #M262738 independently confirms the stone as natural corundum, its weight, dimensions, and no indication of heating; origin is the store's own assessment and is not addressed by the lab report.
• Combined effect: It is the pairing of an uncommon color, unheated status, and eye-clean clarity — not any single factor — that makes a stone like this difficult to replace at this size and price.

Buying Guidance

A few practical points to weigh before purchasing this specific stone:

• View it in mixed lighting. Lavender's violet-gray balance shifts visibly between warm incandescent light and daylight or LED — compare both before finalizing your decision.
• Match the setting to a shallow profile. At 5.95 x 4.00 x 2.98 mm this is a fairly flat oval, so a bezel or well-supported prong setting is recommended for earring or pendant use.
• Verify treatment disclosure independently. Ask any seller for the underlying lab report rather than a summary — AGCL Report #M262738 is available for this stone.
• Weigh scarcity against size. Unheated lavender in eye-clean quality is uncommon at any weight, so this 0.60 ct stone reflects that combination rather than size alone.
• Use the Try Before You Buy option if you would like to see the stone in hand before finalizing the purchase.
