0.42 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

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.
