This transparent 0.48 carat cushion shape bluish green sapphire from Madagascar is a finely proportioned example of natural beauty and collectible gem quality. Measuring 4.55 x 4.41 x 2.87 mm, this stone is cut in a mixed brilliant style to balance face up brilliance with depth of color. The color intensity is medium intense, exhibiting a rich, bold bluish green tone that reads both sophisticated and striking. Clarity is graded very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, and the gem displays excellent polish, which enhances light return and gives crisp facet definition. There is no enhancement, this sapphire is in its natural state, and the combination of transparent clarity and even color saturation makes it a desirable choice for collectors and connoisseurs alike.
For the educated buyer this stone represents several important attributes that contribute to long term value and visual impact. The cushion shape and mixed brilliant cut are optimized for both modern and vintage inspired settings, allowing the rich, bold color to declare personal power and distinction without excessive size. The Madagascar origin is significant, as the island produces sapphires with unique tertiary tones and clean crystal structure, qualities that appeal to specialists who value provenance and geological character. With a weight of 0.48 carat and precise dimensions, this sapphire is well suited for a center stone in a refined engagement ring, a statement pendant, or a bespoke design that showcases color over carat weight. At The Natural Sapphire Company we document the no enhancement status and provide transparent grading details to support informed purchasing decisions, and we recommend settings that allow light to enter the pavilion to maximize the gem s medium intense color and polished brilliance. This sapphire is an elegant emblem of distinction, offering a balanced mix of scarcity, natural beauty, and technical quality for a buyer who appreciates gemstones as both wearable art and a measured investment.
