This pear shape bluish green sapphire presents as a precise balance of form and optical performance, weighing 0.42 carat with dimensions of 5.22 x 4.20 x 2.43 mm, and finished with a mixed brilliant cut that optimizes return of light while preserving depth and proportion. The mixed brilliant faceting scheme yields scintillation across both the crown and pavilion planes, producing lively dispersion without sacrificing color saturation. Surface finish is of an excellent polish, allowing clean facet junctions and sharp facet edges that enhance scintillation. Clarity is graded as very very slightly included evaluated at eye level, indicating that inclusions are minimal to the unaided eye and do not interfere with overall transparency, while under magnification the internal features confirm natural formation. Color is categorized as medium intensity bluish green, a balanced hue that reads equally well under daylight and warmer lighting, allowing this sapphire to serve as a versatile centerpiece or as a refined accent in multi gem settings. The stone has been heat treated as an enhancement, a stable and well established practice that improves color uniformity and clarity without compromising structural integrity.
Beyond its technical attributes, this sapphire embodies responsible sourcing practices that appeal to the conscious collector. Origin is Madagascar, a region known for producing richly hued sapphires through artisanal mining that can be monitored and supported through community level programs. The Natural Sapphire Company maintains direct relationships with miners and local partners to ensure traceability, fair remuneration, and adherence to environmental safeguards, and this stone is documented within those sourcing controls. Heat treatment is disclosed transparently, and detailed provenance information is available to confirm the chain of custody. For the mindful buyer seeking a gem that combines demonstrable craftsmanship with ethical provenance, this pear shape sapphire integrates measured beauty with accountable origin, making it suitable for bespoke heirloom pieces, minimalist everyday wear, or curated collections where environmental and social considerations are as important as cut, color, and clarity. The Natural Sapphire Company stands behind both the gemological claims and the sourcing narrative, offering technical certification and guidance to integrate this stone into a thoughtful collection.
