0.31 Ct. Sapphire from Madagascar

This exquisite gemstone, a bluish-green sapphire weighing in at 0.31 carats, comes with a remarkable history that begins millions of years ago. Sapphires, like this one, are formed deep within the Earth's mantle under specific conditions of heat and pressure. This particular sapphire's journey began over countless eons when elements such as aluminum and trace amounts of iron and titanium bonded together in an intricate lattice, creating the vibrant bluish-green hue that captivates the eye. This natural marvel was brought to the Earth's surface through the powerful forces of geological processes, making its way to the captivating lands of Madagascar.

The sapphire features not just an impressive history but also exceptional physical qualities that contribute to its rarity and appeal. It has been precisely cut into an asscher shape, a style cherished for its elegance and the way it showcases the gem's internal clarity. This octagon-shaped stone with dimensions of 3.54 x 3.49 x 2.80 mm grants a hand-polished finish that highlights its natural beauty. The asscher cut itself is known for its step facet designs, emphasizing depth and brilliance. This particular sapphire boasts an eye-clean clarity, ensuring that no inclusions are visible to the naked eye, allowing for a pure and uninterrupted viewing experience.

With a medium intense color intensity, the bluish-green tint of this sapphire is alluring and highly sought after. This hue is the result of the unique mineral make-up found only in certain parts of the world, with Madagascar standing out as a renowned and prestigious origin of gem-grade sapphires. The island's mineral-rich soils contribute to the sapphire's vibrant coloration, making it distinct in comparison to other localities. The excellent polish that finalizes this gem's transformation from rough stone to breathtaking jewel ensures it reflects light beautifully from every angle it is admired.
