Natural Bluish Purple Sapphire – Cushion Cut, 1.06 Carat (Unheated, Ceylon, I)
Australian‑based gem merchant (est. 2014) with 60+ years family heritage. This natural bluish purple sapphire comes from Sri Lanka (Ceylon), renowned for producing vivid purple sapphires with bright, lively tones. Purple sapphires are a type of corundum; their rich hue results from trace elements such as vanadium and titanium, and natural stones form deep within the earth without human interference. This makes them authentic gems valued for their rarity and beauty.
Natural purple sapphires display a range of shades—from soft lavender to deep violet. They often exhibit delicate color zoning and natural inclusions, which confirm their origin. With a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, sapphire is ideal for engagement rings, heirloom pieces and everyday wear. Our gem is unheated/untreated, preserving its true colour and natural character; it comes with I clarity, meaning inclusions are visible to the naked eye but add unique charm to the stone.
- Earth‑sourced gemstones • Cut and polished faceted gemstone
- Authenticity Confirmation included for every purchase
- Fast, secure & insured worldwide shipping from Australia
- Ethically sourced from trusted mines in Sri Lanka, Madagascar and Australia.
Gemstone Highlights
This 1.06 carat sapphire features a graceful cushion cut (7.05 × 5.14 mm), combining soft rounded corners with brilliant facets to enhance colour and sparkle. Its natural bluish‑purple tone—somewhere between violet and blue—makes it a standout choice for collectors and jewellery lovers seeking a rare hue. Unheated and untreated, this gemstone retains its original colour and adds long‑term value.

I LOVE my ring, thank you so much Sapphirepal
It fits perfectly and I love the setting too. The stones are stunning!!!
Thank you again for delivering quality and helpful support.
Before making a purchase, I inquired if they would also create a setting for whichever gemstone I chose. After they confirmed they would, I found the most beautiful purple/lavender sapphire. I purchase the stone and then sent them the vision I have for the setting. They delivered 100% of what I asked for and even more I could’ve dreamed of. The east to west half bezel sapphire ring is truly breathtaking. Communication was easy, fast and they were super honest about delays and whatnot. Even when I changed my mind on a few details in the beginning, they were so kind and had no problem adjusting what I asked for or confirming any questions I had. I’m so thankful to have worked with Sapphire Pal. Truly, thank you for bringing my sapphire ring dream to life! <3
Smaller than anticipated but absolutely beautiful 😄 Shipping was quick, and it was handled with care.
鑑別書もあって安心感があって良かった。
I had a very positive experience purchasing from SapphirePal. Pete was responsive, patient and professional throughout the process, and took the time to answer my questions in detail. He also provided additional photos and videos when requested, which was very helpful when buying a gemstone online.
The stone arrived safely, well packaged and as described, with the certification included. Overall, a smooth and reassuring experience, and I would happily recommend SapphirePal!
Absolutely stunning purchase once again from Sapphirepal 🤩 thsnk you !!
Very happy with colour and cut. A really pretty stone that I look forward to seeing as jewellery.
OMG, just spectacular, and excellent quality. Thanks again for your wonderful service and super quick postage time. I can't wait until I find my next precious gem.
Just stunning. I love this bi- Color sapphire. Flawless to look at, and expertly packaged and presented for my collection. Communication and postage time were exceptional. Thank you. I can’t wait until I have saved enough for my next special gem.
This gemstone is just perfect. My only criticism is the photos on your site were not the best quality for me. However, reading the description of this gem, together with photos, I took the plunge and ordered this true gem. I was so very pleasantly surprised when it arrived, as it certainly held up to its reputation. This is the first time I have purchased from sapphire pal. And I don’t think it will be my last either. Communication, fast delivery, and accurate descriptions, all to be commended. Thank you.
Very good quality sapphires and fast shipping! Thank you!
Hello! 🇺🇦I just wanted to thank you — my grey spinel from Australia has finally arrived in Ukraine. The stone is absolutely beautiful and exactly what I hoped for! Thank you for the great service, smooth delivery, and amazing customer support. Your support was invaluable at every stage of the long delivery journey. I’m really happy with my purchase and will definitely be ordering only from you from now on!
I received what i expected. The stones are with the certificates of authenticity. Had a little bit delay with the delivery due to post issues, I will buy the stones which are much bigger. It was a first try to buy on line. Highly recommend gem stones in this shop.
Absolutely wonderful stone. Great and fast customer service. My stone is actually 1.13ct so it was a tiny bit larger than listed, the colours are true to the photos (stunning!), had a jeweller look at it who said it was a "very nice QLD sapphire". Very very happy customer.
