13.31 ct. modified cushion cut padparadscha sapphire with an orange-pink color and a nice saturation at the tips. While some people like very pure stones, there are others who love to see the remarkable inclusions found in padparadscha sapphires. In the case of this stone, what you see is beautiful. No need for a microscope, a magnifying glass is enough to admire the top model of "fingerprints" thanks to the remarkable proportions of the stone. Often less than 2 ct., padparadscha sapphires exceeding 10 ct. are very rare. The GRS report of June 23, 2016 indicates an absence of treatment and an origin from Sri Lanka.

Natural Padparadscha sapphire, 13.31 ct. cushion, Sri Lanka.
Dimensions : 15.91 x 11.26 x 7.31 mm.
This stone comes from Sri Lanka, the country whose national language gave it its name. Indeed, padparadscha comes from Sinhalese meaning lotus flower. The use of this flower as a reference is not insignificant. Its tender and delicate colour is salmon pink, the colour required to name this exceptional sapphire of over 13 carats!
