0.35 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 0.35 carat pear shape bluish green sapphire from Madagascar is a gem that announces itself with the calm confidence of rarity, and its modest size belies an uncommon presence that only a few collectors and connoisseurs will ever encounter, The Natural Sapphire Company is proud to present a stone that combines superb craftsmanship with a provenance that speaks to the wild, mineral rich terrains of Madagascar. Measuring 5.46 x 3.38 x 2.49 mm, the gem has been fashioned into a mixed brilliant cut to optimize light performance within the constraints of its form, and the result is a jewel that delivers lively scintillation and crisp facet contrasts more often associated with larger stones. The color is bluish green with medium intensity, a hue that sits at the crossroads of oceanic calm and verdant depth, and because the tone and saturation are balanced rather than saturated to the point of darkness, light is allowed to pass and return with clarity, which creates a luminous, almost inner glow that is subtle yet undeniably present. Its clarity grade, very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, means the stone is essentially visually clean to unaided view, and when combined with an excellent polish, the result is a surface that reflects and refracts light with the refined flash of a well executed high end cut. Heat treated for stability and tone enhancement, this sapphire offers the assurance of enduring color, and because heat treatment is a commonly accepted and long proven method for bringing out the best in natural sapphires, the final appearance feels both natural and perfected.

To understand why this sapphire stands apart from more commonly encountered gemstones, consider the qualities that most buyers instinctively compare, and how this stone exceeds expectations in different ways. Diamonds are celebrated for their fire and brilliance due to a very high refractive index, and while sapphires in general have a lower refractive index, the mixed brilliant cut of this pear shape has been executed to maximize internal reflection and scintillation, producing lively flashes and controlled dispersion that read as sophistication rather than pyrotechnic sparkle. Compared with aquamarine and many varieties of beryl, which often present as watery and softly luminous, the bluish green sapphire offers a more crystalline intensity, maintaining brilliance even at a small scale because of superior transparency and the gem s higher resistance to light leakage. Against emeralds, which are prized for their saturated green but frequently show inclusions and require treatments to achieve stability, this Madagascar sapphire is notable for its practical clarity and polished finish, which translate into immediate visual impact when set in jewelry. Tourmalines can display intriguing pleochroism and color change, but they often lack the crisp, mirror like facet reflections that this sapphire provides, thanks to its cut and polish. In short, where many stones trade off clarity for color, and color for brilliance, this pear shaped bluish green sapphire delivers a rare equilibrium, with each attribute reinforcing the others rather than diminishing them.

Owning this gem places you among a select group who appreciate not only quality but provenance and hand selected rarity, The Natural Sapphire Company curates sapphires with an emphasis on character and distinction, and this Madagascar stone is an archetype of that philosophy, elegant in scale yet resolute in personality. Its pear silhouette lends itself to bespoke design, whether you envision a solitaire pendant that draws the eye down the neckline, a halo ring that frames the stone with contrasting light and metal, or an heirloom piece where the slender taper of the pear adds a whisper of vintage glamour. Because the piece is a natural sapphire enhanced by heat treatment, it benefits from the permanence of color adjustment without compromising the integrity of the stone, and its very very slightly included clarity means the gem will read as pure to the observer while retaining the signature markers of a natural origin, features that collectors and jewelers both prize. For individuals seeking a sapphire that is both wearable and collectible, this 0.35 carat pear shape achieves the rare balance of being modest enough for everyday elegance and unique enough to command attention when the light catches it, a distinction that several more common gems and mass produced stones rarely achieve.
