Violet sapphire is natural corundum at the cooler, bluer end of the purple spectrum — a color that reads differently across light sources, with more blue content in daylight and a warmer character under incandescent light.

Brilliant faceting breaks returning light into many small points; step faceting returns it in broad flat planes. A stone faceted both ways does some of each, and this one measures 7.97 x 5.19 mm across the girdle at a total depth of 3.42 mm. Whether you prefer that to a full brilliant or a full step cut is a matter of taste; neither is a grade, and the report grades neither.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan role=\"text\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Benefits of this Natural Pinkish Purple Sapphire\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdditional Results: Heated\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe report's Additional Results entry reads Heated.
