5ct Square Unheated Padparadscha Sapphire Gem Kashmir
5ct Square Unheated Padparadscha Sapphire Gem
Unheated padparadscha sapphire weighing 5.62ct from Pakistan (Kashmir).
The natural sapphire is orangy pink, a medium saturation with light tone.
The sapphire has inclusions though the photos magnify these.
The orangy pink is not lost under its light tone – we note that it has both attributes of being light AND at the middle of pink and orange.
This is not a casual observation – as a gem lover we only wish this stone was bigger to be able to showcase this phenomenon easily to one and all.
We consider this stone to fall at the true pastel hue of the padparadscha spectrum (the other end being vivid).
In both the 5.4ct sapphire and 5.62ct (this stone), the orangy pink is luminous under low light, an ‘incandescent’ glow that is dimmed in daylight.
The Azad Kashmir region produce minimal of this specimen; fine specimens are rare.
The stone measures 8.40 x 8.23 x 7.62 mm.
Lotus Report 9558-7238.
