Mark,

I definitely see some purple in it, so the description is correct. I consider it is purplish pink (or a light toned red) with strong saturation. All in all, a very rich looking sapphire.

I''m sure you will be quite pleased with your sapphire. Fantastic, rich, glowy gem!

A stone''s hue is based upon the dominate color when you look at the stone. What strikes you most, color-wise, about this gem? Does it say PINK? Then, consider the modifying colors (of course, a color or hue can be a blend of several colors – aghhh!). To make it more complicated, everyone sees color little differently. Anyway, I agree, in this case, the gem''s description seems based upon the hue or character of the pink... it does appear to be a "purplish" pink.
