0.55 Ct. Bluish Green Sapphire from Madagascar

This transparent 0.55 carat round bluish green sapphire from Madagascar combines precise cutting and fine material quality to offer both visual appeal and investment grade characteristics. Measuring 4.77 x 4.66 x 3.14 millimeters, the gem is fashioned in a mixed brilliant cut that balances a faceted crown with a brilliant-style pavilion, producing lively scintillation and an attractive face up appearance. The color is described as intense, which for a bluish green sapphire indicates a saturated, well distributed tone that reads richly in multiple lighting conditions. Clarity is graded as very slightly included when evaluated at eye level, meaning the stone is effectively eye clean to most observers, with only minor internal features visible under careful inspection, and the excellent polish contributes to clean reflections and crisp facet junctions. This sapphire has been heat treated, which is a widely accepted and stable enhancement that enhances color and clarity without compromising the inherent durability of corundum for everyday jewelry use.

At The Natural Sapphire Company we emphasize ethical sourcing and traceability, and this Madagascar sapphire is offered through supply channels that prioritize responsible mining practices and fair treatment of local workers. Madagascar is known for producing a diverse range of sapphire colors, and responsibly sourced stones from the island combine geological interest with provenance that conscious collectors value. For the educated buyer, the appeal of this stone lies in the combination of intense natural color, a precise mixed brilliant cut that maximizes light return, an eye level clarity that preserves transparency, and a small, stable heat treatment that improves appearance without altering the gem's structural integrity. This makes the sapphire suitable for refined, everyday pieces such as engagement rings, subtle halo settings, and bespoke fine jewelry, where color and polish contribute more to perceived value than carat weight alone. Choosing this sapphire supports a thoughtful approach to gemstone collecting, and our team can provide additional documentation on origin and treatment, along with recommended setting options to showcase the stone while maintaining its long term beauty.
