Comment: Unheated pink sapphire crossing the elusive two carat line. Not a neon but pastel pink. Inclusions only under the lens and in the back. Well cut, especially for a heart shape with equally extensive luster not a given in this shape. Depending on light setting more or less purple as secondary hue lowering the tone, while on the pink side the tone is brighter (as in main image). No window but with extra sparkly brilliant center. 3*NOS (no treatment, no inclusions, no window)  gem in rare material. Obviously a romantic shape for jewelry, pendant or not-too-small ring (say over size 5/6), but also a fine gem for sapphire collectors with untreated pinks in this size most sought-after. Great crystal, affordable pedigree.
