Lying on the border of a Ruby and Sapphire, Pink Sapphire gemstones are uniquely classified due to their distinct color. The quality of a Pink Sapphire depends largely on the quality of its color (hue, saturation, and tone). Origin, clarity, and cut are often regarded as secondary factors while analyzing the quality of this stunning pink gemstone. Buy the best quality Pink Sapphire gemstone to make the most of your shopping.

• Origin

  - Sri Lanka (Ceylon), Myanmar (Burma), Madagascar, Africa and Pakistan are some important mining locations that resource fine quality natural Pink Sapphires to the gemstone industry. Just like rubies, Burmese Pink Sapphire is known for its high aesthetics, historical significance and immense rarity and therefore considered highly sought-after. Some natural Pink Sapphire Ceylon (Sri Lankan) or Madagascar Pink Sapphire stones can also enter the league of the top-quality gem if they have an exceptional color and clarity.

• Color

   - Pink Sapphire color ranges from light pink to baby pink, deep pink, violet-pink, peach pink, rosy pink, hot pink and intense magenta pink. Generally, the highly saturated, medium to dark Pink Sapphire is considered probably the best but the selection of tone really depends on the individual’s personal preference.

• Clarity

   - Being a Type II clarity gemstone, natural inclusions such as fingerprints, rutile, negative crystals, line growth and color zoning are quite common in Pink Sapphire. So, when buying a Pink Sapphire, one should always look for transparent and sparkly pieces with minimum visible flaws. Such fine quality stones are quite rare and only available at the trusted gem stores.

• Uniqueness (Star Pink Sapphire)

   - ‘Pink Star Sapphire’ is a rare and unique variety that possesses microscopic rutile needles aligned in the perpendicular direction. This gem variety appears nearly opaque but displays a beautiful six-rayed star-like effect on its surface when the light strikes this gemstone, just like in Star Ruby. Pink Star Sapphire stone is extremely rare and considered quite precious.

• Cut

   - Rough Pink Sapphire is neither easily accessible nor affordable. So, more preference is given to minimizing stone wastage while shaping or refining a pink sapphire raw stone. Oval pink sapphire and round pink sapphire are usually affordable than the gems in fancy cuts (emerald cut Pink Sapphire, princess cut Pink Sapphire and Pink Sapphire heart etc.) because the former ones cause minimum weight loss. While buying a Pink Sapphire, it is always advised to choose a Pink Sapphire that displays the best hue and brilliant luster.

• Color

  - This is the most important attribute that affects the worth of a Pink Sapphire gem. The rule goes as the brighter and deeper shades of pink sometimes with purplish tinge fetch a high price in the market. The price of some popular color varieties are Purple Pink Sapphire, Dark Pink Sapphire, Bubblegum Pink Sapphire, Salmon Pink Sapphire, Peach Pink Sapphire, Hot Pink Sapphire, Blush Pink Sapphire etc. remains high due to their popularity and demand in the market. 

• Clarity

   - Given their gemological composition, inclusion (in a lesser amount) is usually acceptable in the real Pink Sapphire gemstones. Visible inclusions usually exist as fine silk (rutile needles), fingerprints and color bands. Natural Pink Sapphire stones without any eye visible inclusion are rarely found and hence command a strong market value.

• Cut

  - Pink Sapphire Gemstone price for highly faceted, fancy gems (Cushion cut Pink Sapphire, Square Pink Sapphire, Trillion cut Pink Sapphire, Marquise Pink Sapphire) can cost 20% more than the stone of similar quality and size but in a custom cut (Pink Sapphire in round or oval). This is because of the huge stone wastage involved in the cutting process of Pink Sapphires in fancy shapes.

• Carat weight

   - Generally, Pink Sapphire cost per carat increases exponentially for stones above few carats. It is difficult to find a large Pink Sapphire in good color and clarity. For such pieces, Pink Sapphire price per carat can range in million.

• Origin

   - Pink Sapphire from Sri Lanka and Burma are considered most valuable in the trade. This is because gems from these two origins are more likely to have rich color and good clarity. Pink Sapphire from Tanzania, Pakistan and Madagascar can also fetch good prices if clarity and color in them co-exist on the same scale.
