0.55 Ct. Greenish Blue Sapphire from Madagascar

The Natural Sapphire Company presents a finely calibrated example of Madagascar origin, a transparent 0.55 carat oval greenish blue sapphire, dimensions 5.44 x 3.88 x 2.98 mm, with a mixed brilliant cut engineered to balance color saturation and optical performance. The mixed brilliant geometry employs a brilliant style crown to maximize scintillation and a proportioned pavilion that controls light leakage, producing pronounced light return despite the stone size. The clarity grade is very very slightly included, evaluated at eye level, which ensures the visual field remains clean while preserving natural growth features that contribute to stability and provenance. Heat treatment has been applied in a controlled protocol to enhance chroma, a standard and stable enhancement for Madagascar material, and the finish presents an excellent polish with crisp facet junctions and tight symmetry, which are essential for consistent sparkle and durability when set.

Technically, the oval outline was selected to make efficient use of rough and to emphasize the greenish blue hue with intense color intensity, resulting in a depth of tone that is both lively and saturated without appearing overly dark. The mixed brilliant faceting optimizes face up brightness, while the precise pavilion shaping maintains the apparent color when viewed through common mounting styles. The stone’s proportions produce a well defined table and crown height that interact to deliver contrast of light and dark facet areas, a hallmark of refined cutting. The excellent polish enhances phase matching across adjacent facets, enabling crisp light performance and minimizing surface diffusion, which collectors and jewelers read as superior lapidary work.

Owning this sapphire is an investment in both beauty and craftsmanship, because the technical decisions made during cutting and finishing directly influence long term desirability and market stability. The combination of intense natural color, eye level clarity, and meticulous mixed brilliant cutting translates into a gem that performs in both aesthetic and practical contexts, retaining appeal in changing fashion cycles and maintaining robust resale potential. When you acquire this gem through The Natural Sapphire Company, you receive documented origin, professional evaluation, and a gem whose technical attributes reflect deliberate lapidary skill, making it a confident choice for heirloom settings, bespoke commissions, and informed collections.
