0.38 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

If you are seeking a gemstone that balances refined elegance with everyday durability, this pear shaped greenish blue sapphire from Madagascar is a perfect solution. Weighing 0.38 carat, and measuring 5.55 by 3.71 by 2.54 millimeters, its graceful pear silhouette is cut in a mixed brilliant style to maximize sparkle while preserving weight, clarity, and color. The medium color intensity offers a serene greenish blue tone that reads fresh and sophisticated in daylight, while the excellent polish ensures every facet reflects light with clarity and life. At eye level this stone is graded very slightly included, which means you will find it to be clean and visually appealing without the visible cloudiness that can sometimes detract from lighter colored sapphires. The gem has been heat treated, a widely accepted enhancement that stabilizes and enriches color in sapphires, and the result is a durable, attractive gemstone with a natural origin story rooted in Madagascar, a source renowned for producing finely colored sapphires. At The Natural Sapphire Company we understand that many clients are searching for a gem that carries both character and reliability, whether for an engagement ring that must perform day after day, or for a collector seeking a distinct piece with excellent finishing.

Durability is often the deciding factor for clients who want beauty that lasts, and on the Mohs scale of hardness this sapphire ranks at 9, making it second only to diamond at 10. This means it is significantly more resistant to scratching and abrasion than many popular gemstones, such as aquamarine, which generally sits around 7.5 to 8 on the same scale, and topaz, which is about 8. Emeralds and beryl family stones typically fall lower, and they can show wear more quickly when set for everyday use. With a hardness of 9 this greenish blue sapphire is exceptionally well suited to daily wear in rings, pendants, and bracelets, offering confidence that the gem will resist nicks and surface wear from normal activity. Hardness is only one aspect of toughness and care, and because this stone is clean and well cut with excellent polish, it will retain its brilliance with minimal maintenance. We recommend routine gentle cleaning, safe bezel or protective prong settings for active wearers, and periodic professional checks to ensure the setting remains secure, all practical steps that prolong the life and beauty of a sapphire that is already built to last.
