0.39 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

From the slow, patient work of the earth to the careful eye of the cutter, this bluish green sapphire tells a quiet story of place and patience, a story we are proud to share at The Natural Sapphire Company. Born in the dynamic landscapes of Madagascar, where ancient alluvial streams and tropical geology conspire to concentrate corundum into pockets of discovery, this gem began as color and crystal trapped under time and pressure, enriched by trace elements that whisper of its origin. As miners and artisans brought it into the light, the rough stone revealed potential rather than perfection, and skilled hands guided it toward the elegant oval form that you now see. We present a transparent 0.39 carat oval sapphire with dimensions of 4.89 by 3.60 by 2.61 millimeters, shaped into a mixed brilliant cut that marries a lively crown with a measured pavilion, and finished with an excellent polish that maximizes both fire and clarity. The color is a gentle bluish green of light intensity, a hue that reads as fresh and versatile, a tone that reflects both sea and forest, and that carries the subtle energy of Madagascar soils and skies. Heat treated to refine and stabilize its tone, this sapphire retains a natural character while offering improved visual balance for everyday wear, a balance we seek carefully at The Natural Sapphire Company so that each gem keeps its story while gaining the beauty desired by modern jewelry lovers.

Like fingerprints, inclusions are the intimate signatures that confirm a sapphire is a member of the earth rather than a laboratory replica, and in this stone they are to be celebrated as part of its identity. Graded as very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, this gem displays inclusions that are present but discreet, visible only to the practiced eye and often revealing themselves as tiny crystals or delicate silk like needles that play with light rather than interfere with it. These internal features can appear as faint pinpoint traces, soft veils, or minute crystal gardens, and in combination they serve as a map of the stone s formation, marking moments when mineral fluid moved through the growing crystal and when the environment shifted in temperature and chemistry. Rather than detracting from value, such inclusions often enhance desirability among connoisseurs because they offer proof of natural origin and uniqueness, no two patterns are identical, and they become talking points and personal connections between wearer and gem. In the case of this sapphire, the inclusions interact with the mixed brilliant cut to create subtle flashes and depth, channels where light catches and scatters, making the bluish green tone feel alive and dimensional. Our cutters at The Natural Sapphire Company use the presence of these features as part of a design dialogue, positioning facets to complement and conceal as needed, so the resulting gem shows its inner life without losing the clear, transparent quality that makes it wearable and luminous.

When set, this 0.39 carat oval sapphire will read as refined and intimate, a center of quiet elegance that suits a range of jewelry visions from classic solitaires to modern bezel settings that honor durability and daily wear. The oval shape and measured proportions of 4.89 by 3.60 by 2.61 millimeters offer a flattering silhouette for rings, pendants, or pairings with accent stones, and the excellent polish ensures that each movement catches light with subtle brilliance. Consider a warm gold setting to emphasize the green notes in the hue, or a soft white metal to let the blue lean forward, the choice will echo how the stone first saw daylight in Madagascar and how it has been lovingly finished by human hands. As a heat treated sapphire, it benefits from a widely accepted enhancement that improves color while preserving structural integrity, and at The Natural Sapphire Company we disclose treatments transparently so you can make an informed and confident choice. This gem represents a rare balance of natural story and wearable beauty, a small marvel of geology and craftsmanship that invites you to carry a piece of Madagascar s earth history with you. If you are moved by provenance and personality, this sapphire will reward careful setting and attentive wear, becoming over time both heirloom and companion, a subtle statement of taste that speaks of authenticity and enduring charm.
