0.39ct 4.5x3.8 oval hot pink Opalescent sapphire

0.39ct Reddish Pink Opalescent Sapphire, oval, 4.5x3.8x2.3mm.

At 0.39ct, this works as a petite accent, stacking ring stone, or pavé placement.

The opalescence in these sapphires comes from light scattering off fine oriented inclusions within the crystal — silk that gives the surface a soft, diffuse glow rather than the sharp reflection you'd expect from a clean stone. It's a physical property of the microstructure, not a treatment effect, and it's what makes these stones a different proposition from standard pink or purple sapphires.

Treatment: None — unheated and unenhanced. Clarity: Included - hazy or silk inclusions visible to the naked eye. Origin: Tanzania.
